How would today's MotoGP riders fare against the 'Fantastic Five'?

Marquez, Rossi, Lorenzo, Pedrosa and Stoner make up the 'Fantastic Five'

The strength of the competition is definitely weaker overall but that's not a knock to Marquez. He won most of his titles against a historically talented grid

If Fabio Quartararo had the Yamahas that Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi had, he would easily join the 'Aliens' of that era. Pedro Acosta with the right bike, too, would give them a tough time. But there are few others on the 2026 MotoGP grid who you would back convincingly.

I don't think there are many, but I reckon Acosta could give them a run for their money on equal machinery. Perhaps Bagnaia and Martin at their very best could also rival them
