Like so many things in life, success often comes down to one moment -- one twist of fate that helps everything fall into place.
For motorcycling's brightest young star Marc Marquez, that moment came when he was just eight years old.
The double MotoGP world champion -- who began riding aged just four -- was at his local motocross track in the Catalonia region of Spain when a talent scout spotted him.
"I come from a normal family, and motorbikes -- you cannot forget that they are expensive if you want to ride. When you get older, they get more and more expensive," Marquez tells Human to Hero series.
"There was one guy watching me, watching the riders, and he said, 'You will come to my team.' So, from nine years old, for my family, everything was free. This was a big help, and for that reason I am here now."
