Álex Márquez Alentà (born 23 April 1996) is aGrand Prix motorcycle rider from Spain racing forDucati satellite teamBK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP. He has competed inMotoGP since the2020 season, having previously become World Champion in the2019 Moto2 World Championship.^[1] He also won the2014 Moto3 World Championship,^[2] and the2012 CEV Moto3 season's title.^[3]

Álex currently races alongsideFermín Aldeguer on theBK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP team. His brotherMarc Márquez also races in MotoGP and is currently on theDucati Lenovo Team. In2014, when Marc won the premier class, and Álex wonMoto3, they became the first ever pair of brothers to win world titles in motorcycle racing in the same year,^[2][4] a feat they would also repeat in2019, when Marc won the premier class, and Álex wonMoto2.^[1]Six years later, Álex created a record that is unprecedented in the Grand Prix motorcycle racing history by becoming the first ever pair of brothers in 1st and 2nd position inGrand Prix motorcycle racing history with Marc Márquez.^[5]

Márquez began the 2010 season in the CEV Buckler 125cc championship, competing with theMonlau Competición team, along withÁlex Rins andNiklas Ajo. Márquez did not participate in the opening round atCircuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, as he was not old enough to do so – he did not turn fourteen until five days after the event. He finished eleventh in his first start atAlbacete, having qualified tenth. He retired atJerez due to clutch problems. He added finishes of seventh and sixth atMotorland Aragón and Albacete, before retiring from the final two races atValencia and Jerez. He finished eleventh in the final riders' championship standings.

In 2011, Márquez battled with Rins for the title, with the championship honours ultimately going to Rins. Márquez won two races during the season – at Motorland Aragón and Albacete – and finished the season as runner-up, 12 points in arrears to Rins. With the championship changing to Moto3 regulations for the 2012 season, Márquez again won two races, at Albacete andNavarra; he won the championship with a fourth-place finish at Albacete.

Márquez made his world championship début as a wildcard at the2012 Spanish Grand Prix.^[6] In difficult weather conditions, Márquez scored points with a twelfth-place finish. He also made wildcard appearances atEstoril andCatalunya, scoring points on both occasions, with fifteenth and sixth respectively. After the mid-season break, Márquez moved into the series full-time from theIndianapolis Grand Prix onwards with Ambrogio Racing, replacingSimone Grotzkyj.^[7] He scored points in four of the remaining eight races, and ultimately finished the season in twentieth place in the riders' championship.

In 2013, the Estrella Galicia 0,0 team moved toKTM machinery, with Márquez joining Rins in the team full-time. After predominantly finishing fourth or fifth in the races during the first half of the season, Márquez achieved his first podium finish at theIndianapolis Grand Prix with a second-place finish behind Rins. Márquez recorded three consecutive third-place finishes atSilverstone,Misano andMotorland Aragón, before taking his first career victory at theJapanese Grand Prix. He finished the season in fourth position in the final championship standings.

For2014, Márquez and Rins remained in the series and started as the championship favourites. However, in the opening third of the season, they were usurped byAjo Motorsport riderJack Miller, who won three of the opening five races. Márquez took successive wins inCatalunya andthe Netherlands to reduce the deficit from 44 points to 7. Márquez started a run of five top-two finishes at theBritish Grand Prix, including another victory atMotegi, which saw him move into the championship lead ahead over Miller and open up a 25-point gap.^[8] Despite Miller winning two of the final three races, a third-place finish at the final round inValencia saw Márquez clinch the title by two points. In the process, he and brother Marc became the first brothers to win world motorcycle racing titles.^[2][4]

For the 2015 season, Márquez moved up to theMoto2 World Championship with theEstrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS team and finished 14th in the standings.^[9]

In 2016 Márquez had a slightly better season and took his first Moto2 podium in the Aragon GP, ending the year in 13th.

2017 was a breakthrough year for Márquez, as he won his first Moto2 race at the Spanish GP and ended a much more consistent season in 4th overall.

Márquez achieved 4th place in the championship again in 2018, despite not winning a race.

Márquez won the 2019 Moto2 World Championship, securing a double championship haul for the Márquez brothers. He was also the first rider to win a title in Moto3 and Moto2.
