With ten of the 20 rounds scheduled for the 2024 MotoGP season completed, the rider with the most falls is… Marc Márquez. After several challenging years with Honda, where he often had to push the bike to its limits to achieve better results, the rider has switched to a Ducati with Gresini but continues to experience numerous incidents.
The Spaniard has had to get to know a new bike and adapt to it, exploring its limits, which may help explain, at least in part, why he went down 15 times so far. This statistic covers all sessions (practice, qualifying, and races). Three crashes have particularly marked Márquez’s year as they occurred during races, including the one at the GP of the Americas while he was battling for victory.
Márquez has had 14 fewer crashes than he did throughout last year and three more than Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM) and Pedro Acosta (Red Bull GasGas Tech3/KTM) in the 2024 standings. The top six in this statistic is rounded out, with ten falls each, by Joan Mir (Repsol Honda), Marco Bezzecchi (Pertamina Enduro VR46/Ducati), and Johann Zarco (LCR Honda).
According to the statistics compiled by Motorsport.com, all riders who participated in races have fallen at least once, including wildcards. Among regular riders, the least fallen is Luca Marini (Repsol Honda), who has fallen just three times — one fewer than Miguel Oliveira (Trackhouse Racing/Aprilia).
