From time to time, the occasional motor racing season will be won in dominant fashion – with the majority of the races being won by a particular driver, rider or team.
A lot of the times, those seasons will be quickly forgotten or dubbed as “boring,” as the fans went to the track or turned on the TV knowing who would likely cross the line in first position.
However, while the 2014 MotoGP season was dominated by Marc Marquez, it was far from a boring season, with his three closest competitors – Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa – providing us with plenty of exciting challenges along the way.
There was also the occasional smash too.
