A few years back, MotoGP fans and press began referring to the top four or five riders as "aliens" due to their consistent ability to be so much faster than what you'd otherwise refer to as the best riders in the world. The moniker essentially implied that this group of elite racers were from another planet. Consider them superhuman.
And then Marc Marquez came along, winning the MotoGP World Championship in his first attempt and then the first 10 races of the 2014 season.
