Mac Marquez into the record books with Moto GP title

Marc Marquez became the youngest ever rider to win the MotoGP world title after riding a controlled race to third place at the season finale in Valencia. The 20-year-old Spaniard needed to only finish fourth or higher to be sure of beating Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo to the crown , and did all that was required of him with a performance that yet again bellied his tender years. Marquez achievement sees him become the serie's youngest champion, breaking the record of Freddie Spencer who was 21 years and 258 days old when he won the 500cc title in 1983. Marquez is also the first rookie to win the premier class title since Kenny Roberts in 1978.

The Honda rider's title triumph was just reward for his stunning consistency across his podium finish on Sunday his 16th in 18 races – of which six of those were victories. Lorenzo, the only man who could deny Marquez his moment of history , won the race but that was not enough for the outgoing champion to overcome the 13 point advantage his rival enjoyed at the start of the day.
