Who knew that Marquez was a double Moto2 World Champion? I'm sure it comes as a surprise to Stefan Bradl.
The article was probably done by the same ...... who wrote the narrative copy for part 4 of Monster's YouTube ego-stroking fluff piece on the 'Doctor' (a nickname so stupid that no one can explain where it really comes from or what it means -- though it is hilarious to see them all so earnest and serious about trying to explain it). If you fast forward through the custard yellow circle jerk to about 6:40 you'll learn that Rossi won 5 straight titles for Honda before moving to Yamaha (where he's won 4). What a legend! Mr 9 times, you GOAT!

As far as I'm aware (which is probably wrong) the ... that is Rossi got nick named the doctor cos he was an awarded a degree in Italy. Not sure what in but at the time it was stated if you have a degree in Italy you are a doctor of your chosen profession.
It's stuck since. Maybe someone who is more of a Rossi fan than me can confirm. I'm sure many Rossi fans simply don't care though as they are blinded by it and just buy the flags

Original text
After being crowned 2010 125cc World Champion, Marquez made the move up to Moto2™ for 2011. He didn't quite make the impact he wanted at the start of the year, as two DNFs and a 21st placed finish in Estoril left him floundering. He then spectacularly won at Le Mans, completely turning around his fortunes. By the time he arrived in Germany he had won three races and was second in the championship, but still a whopping 52-points behind leader Stefan Bradl. When the lights went out at the Sachsenring, it was the two title rivals who got involved in an incredible race long battle at the front. Marquez emerged victorious over Bradl for the second race in a row and in the process landed an important psychological blow against his compatriot, going on to be crowned Moto2™ champion later that year.
And
The 2012 season saw Marquez aiming to defend his Moto2™ title. Three wins in the first seven races saw him lead the standings by 23 points from Andrea Iannone, with Pol Espargaro in third just eight points further back. At the German GP Marquez romped to his third victory in a row at the Sachsenring and with Espargaro and Iannone crossing the line in 4th and 16th respectively, extended his lead in the standings on the way to lifting his second Moto2™ World Championship.

Speaking of, how does Rossi get around a flag to flag race bike change when he doesn't appear to squat between changing bikes mid-race? Does he squat for the 2nd bike before going out on the first (if it looks like the rain might come?)

Nadal and Rossi appear to be Doctors of similar specialties. Let both nations get to the bottom of matters shortly.
