Spaniard Marc Marquez, at 20 years of age, has become the youngest rider to ever win the MotoGP world championship as he finished third at the Valencia Grand Prix.
Two-time world champion Jorge Lorenzo claimed his eighth victory of the season, but it wasn't enough to overturn Marquez's 13-point lead, which he held heading into the race.
In the end there was just four points between them. Marquez's Repsol Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa finished second.
