The Gresini Ducati rider, sick in his helmet before crashing from fifth in the Saturday Sprint, left Austin empty-handed after being caught up in Jorge Martin’s Turn 3 accident in the main&nbs𓂃p;race.

Marquez’s leg then became trapped between the sliding machines and he also made contact with the trackside wall. ﷽But he escaped any ꦗserious injuries and was angrier at the points lost.

“My leg was trapped between both bikes and I also touched the wall. So it was not an easy crash,” said Marquez. “But I’m angry because we lost many poওints today. It was a good opportunity.

“It's a little bit strange to have the best performance of the season here and get 0 points! And in Portimao and Argentina, where we were not really g꧅ood, we were able to catcꦬh many points. But that’s racing.”

Marquez, whose suspected food poisoning had improved on Sunday, f💜elt Martin made “a clear mistake” but accepted the Pramac Ducati rider’s apology.

“He was already on the outside [at turn 2] and he tr𝔍ied to recover what he lost on turn 3 that, all the riders know, is so tricky,” Marquez explained. “✅He was coming from the dirty side, putting a lot of lean angle. And touched the brake.

“If you touch the brake in that angle, you will crash. More so in the first lap when the front t🀅yre is not in the right moment.

“But it’s something that can happen to me tomorrow. It has happened in the past, will happen in the present a♍nd will happen again in the future. So I accept he's sorry and that's it. For me, it's closed. It’s racing.”

Martin, who was also sick during the Austin weekend but had finished third in the Spr🌳int race, confirmed he had been off-line going into the turn.

“Aleix [Espargaro] was wide into corner two and I was on the outside [of him], so I went really on the outside. And th﷽en as soon as I closed on turn 3, I lost the front. M൩aybe [because of] being out of the line, but I had nowhere to go,” Martin said.

“First lap, maybe the tyre wasn't ready𓄧, but I had this strange crash and sorꦺry for Alex for sure… It's a pity because I [also] felt super strong. But shit happens.”

The Martin-Marquez accident was the fiꦇrst of nine falls in the race, the others being single-rider incidents for which Marquez💙 felt there was a clear explanation.

“Wind,” he said. “Compared to Friday and Saturday, [the direction was] completely opposite. So all the feelings that you have are completely opposite. For example, turn 2 I crashed this morning🌠, yesterday [the wind direction] was helping us, today was in the opposite way so it was so easy to make a mistake.”

Marquez and 🐠Martin return to Europe eighth and eleventh in th🦹e early world championship standings.
