The most MotoGP race wins in a single season as of 2024 is 13, achieved by Marc Márquez in 2014.
Márquez won 13 of the 18 premier-class Grands Prix that year, beginning with an extraordinary run of 10 consecutive victories. That streak covered the opening races from Qatar through Indianapolis and established him as the season’s dominant rider. He ultimately secured his second MotoGP world championship.
The figure is often confused with the records for total premier-class victories or consecutive wins. Valentino Rossi leads the all-time premier-class wins list, while Mick Doohan also won 12 races in the 1997 season. Márquez’s 13 remains the single-season benchmark in the MotoGP-era premier class through 2024.
The wording “MotoGP race wins” refers to Sunday Grand Prix victories in the premier class, not sprint wins, qualifying results, or victories across all Grand Prix categories. Earlier 500cc seasons are part of the championship’s history, but the same premier-class record is conventionally listed together across the 500cc/MotoGP lineage.
