Maybe the Guinness Book of Records has room for Marc Marquez, as the Spaniard has just become the youngest winner of a MotoGP race in the world.
Marquez finished first in the race at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, on Sunday April 21. After securing his first-ever pole position and thus beating the age record of Freddie Spencer, Marquez seized the highest place on the podium in his 2-race MotoGP history.

At 20 years, 5 months and 5 days old, Marquez sets a new milestone in the world of two-wheel racing, while we will definitely see even better things coming from the rookie extraordinaire in the the remaining races of this year's series.

Team Repsol Honda scores the first 1-2 of the season, with Marquez' fellow-countryman Dani Pedrosa and yet another Spanish rider on the third position of the podium, the reigning champion Jorge Lorenzo.
