MotoGP news: BT Sport pundit makes massive Marc Marquez claim - EXCLUSIVE

The Honda sensation has been hotly tipped to regain his title having penned a new two-year contract extension.

The 25-year-old is the youngest rider ever to win four titles.

Marquez secured glory twice two years consecutively in 2016 and 2017 and in 2013 and 2014.

So, is the Spaniard a sure thing going into Sunday’s Qatar curtain raiser? “No, thankfully not,” BT Sport pundit Hodgson told Starsport. 

“He’s the favourite and if I’m putting money down it's going on Marquez. 

“But the beauty of our sport is you just don’t know.”

Although Hodgson is adamant that the 2018 campaign isn’t a done deal, the former Ducati ace admits Marquez is one of a kind. 

He added: “I’ve never witnessed anyone like him on a motorcycle. He’s phenomenal. 

“If you could dissect what you need to be the ultimate sportsman and motorcycle racer, he’s got everything. 

“I’ve never seen a braver racer. What he does, I’ve now idea how. 

“Every other motorcyclist I’ve watched I can work out what they’re doing. I watch him and just go, wow.”
