Marc Marquez’ win at Catalunya marked the 100th victory for Honda on a four-stroke GP bike, which were introduced in 2002 to replace the 500cc two-strokes. Since then, 212 MotoGP races have taken place with 1 win from Suzuki, 31 from Ducati and 81 from Yamaha. Dani Pedrosa took 25 wins, followed by Valentino Rossi with 20, Casey Stoner on 15, and Marc Marquez with 13. While Honda celebrated the 100th win, I personally will celebrate Valentino Rossies 100th win back in June 27 2009, again. None other like Rossi, #Valentino Rossi VR46 Official.
