Marc Márquez — Winbox Brand Ambassador & 7× MotoGP World Champion
The Spaniard who won MotoGP as a rookie in 2013, vanished into six years of injury hell, then came back to win it all again in 2025 — sport's greatest comeback story is the face of Winbox Malaysia.
Marc Márquez has been the official Winbox Brand Ambassador since June 2024 — and in October 2025 he gave the partnership one of motorsport's greatest stories. After 2,184 days, five surgeries on his right arm, 30 missed races and 108 crashes between championships, the Spaniard from Cervera clinched his seventh MotoGP World Championship at the Japanese Grand Prix — equalling Valentino Rossi's MotoGP title count and joining Giacomo Agostini as one of only two riders ever to win seven or more crowns in the premier class. Across his career he's won nine Grand Prix World Championships in total: one in 125cc (2010), one in Moto2 (2012), and seven in MotoGP (2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2025). He's the rider Winbox chose to represent fearlessness, comeback grit and the refusal to quit — values built into the platform itself.

Marc Márquez's Championship Honour Roll
Nine World Championships across three classes. The only Spanish rider in MotoGP history to win the premier-class title in his rookie year — and now the second-most-decorated MotoGP champion ever, level with Valentino Rossi.
-
Total World Championships
Across 125cc, Moto2 and MotoGP. Márquez joins Mike Hailwood, Phil Read and Valentino Rossi as one of only four riders in Grand Prix history to win World Championships in three different categories.
-
MotoGP World Champion
2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2025.
Six titles in seven seasons from 2013-2019, then a six-year drought before the 2025 comeback — the longest gap between MotoGP titles in the sport's history. Only Giacomo Agostini (8 titles) has more in the premier class.
-
Moto2 World Champion
2012.
Won the Moto2 title in just his second season in the class, after finishing runner-up to Stefan Bradl as a rookie in 2011. His 2012 Moto2 season included one of the greatest racing comebacks of all time — overtaking 20 bikes on the first lap alone at Valencia after being demoted to 33rd on the grid.
-
125cc World Champion
2010.
Won the 125cc World Championship at age 17 with the Red Bull Ajo Derbi team, including a victory at Sepang on his way to the title. Made his Grand Prix debut at just 15 years old in 2008.

From Cervera to Champion — The Marc Márquez Story
-
The Prodigy
2008–2019Born in Cervera, Spain in 1993. Grand Prix debut at 15. Won the 125cc title in 2010, Moto2 in 2012, and MotoGP as a rookie in 2013 — the youngest premier-class champion in history at 20. Six MotoGP titles in seven seasons followed. By 2019, he was 26 with 8 World Championships and looked unstoppable.
-
The Wilderness
2020–2024Then came Jerez 2020 — a 150 km/h crash that broke his right arm and nearly ended his career. Five surgeries, 30 missed races, 108 crashes. In 2024 he walked away from Honda after 11 seasons and a €20m+ contract to ride a year-old Ducati at Gresini "almost for free." Most thought his championship days were behind him.
-
The Comeback
2025Riding the factory Ducati Lenovo for the first time in 2025, Márquez clinched his seventh MotoGP World Championship at the Japanese GP — 2,184 days after his last title, with five rounds still to spare. MotoGP officially called it "the greatest comeback in the history of sport." He chose the slogan "More Than A Number" for the celebration. He returns for 2026 as the reigning champion.
Marc Márquez and Sepang — A Malaysian Connection 🇲🇾
For Malaysian motorsport fans, Marc Márquez isn't just a global name — he's a familiar one. The Petronas Sepang International Circuit (SIC) has hosted him in some of the most memorable moments of his career.
-
MotoGP wins at Sepang
Sepang isn't his strongest circuit historically — that distinction belongs to Sachsenring and Aragon — but he's still claimed it twice in MotoGP, putting him third all-time at the venue behind Valentino Rossi (6 wins) and Dani Pedrosa (3).
-
Pole positions at Sepang
He sits third on Sepang's all-time pole list across all classes, behind only Pedrosa (5) and Rossi (4).
-
Sepang — his first championship-clinching season
On his way to the 125cc World Championship at age 17, he won at Sepang and retook the championship lead from Nico Terol with three rounds to go. That 125cc title was the first of his nine.
-
Sepang — the race that defined a rivalry
The most infamous Malaysian Grand Prix in MotoGP history. Márquez and Valentino Rossi traded paint for nine laps before Rossi made contact at Turn 14, sending Márquez down. The fallout shaped the next decade of MotoGP storytelling — and ten years later, Márquez's 2025 title made him level with Rossi on MotoGP championships.
Márquez missed the 2025 Malaysian GP due to his Indonesian-round collarbone fracture, replaced by Ducati test rider Michele Pirro — but his brother Álex Márquez sealed second in the championship that weekend at Sepang, completing the first sibling 1–2 in MotoGP history. The Márquez name was front and centre at Sepang even when Marc wasn't.
Why Winbox Chose Marc Márquez
Plenty of operators sign world champions. Winbox signed a comeback. Here's the thinking.
-
Resilience Over Flash
Márquez's defining trait isn't speed — it's refusing to quit through five surgeries and four lost seasons. That mirrors the Winbox approach: the platform rewards players who stay disciplined, with daily cashback up to 1.0%, the Rescue Bonus for recovery sessions, and Interest FD products that let bankrolls compound through quiet periods. The brand and the rider tell the same story about long-game thinking.
-
Strategic Mind, Not Just Aggression
Márquez is famous for late-race tactical overtakes, not blind aggression — he picks the right corner, sets up the pass three laps ahead, executes when the window opens. Winbox players who use the platform best operate the same way: studying the rebate table, choosing the right Interest FD product, sizing bets to bankroll. The platform rewards thinking, not just betting.
-
Asian Motorsport Relevance
The Petronas Sepang Grand Prix is one of the biggest sporting weekends in Malaysia. Márquez has 2 MotoGP wins, 3 poles and a 125cc championship-clinching weekend at Sepang. To Malaysian fans, he's a familiar face — not a parachuted-in global celebrity. That recognition is exactly what an ambassador for a Malaysian operator needs.
-
Championship Trust
A 7-time MotoGP World Champion will not put his name on a platform he doesn't trust. The due diligence to sign Márquez covered Winbox's Curaçao eGaming licence, PAGCOR certification, BMM Testlabs / iTech Labs / GLI / TST Global audits, and operational security stack (Iovation, ThreatMetrix). The ambassador deal is, in itself, a third-party trust signal — one of the strongest in the Malaysian iGaming market.
