Curious stat, following 2014 Marquez has never won more than 2 of the first 8 races

Bit of a meaningless stat but I found it curious.In 2015 - 1 win from first 8In 2016 - 2 wins from first 8In 2017 - 1 win from first 8In 2018 - 2 wins from first 4 (so far).All of his title challenges have been from mid to late season momentum not early wins.
