The six-time MotoGP champion, who has produced three standout moments since his return - pole at Motegi, a podium at Phill⭕ip Island and a front row at Sepang when Honda were in deep trouble - has been much closer to the Marquez we saw prior to suffering his right shoulder injury at Jerez in 2020. 

Marquez looked set to miss out on Q2 during qualifying at Sepang before a brilliant lap on his own saw him move ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller and claim second. 

• Pol: Aleix, Aprilia don’t realise how big thei✃r achievement is
• Remy Gardner: World Superbike debut in Decওember, burnout 'a bit of fun'

The Repsol Honda rider then replicated that effort just minutes later in Q2 despite seeing series leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia crash out oཧf qualifying directly in front of hi♒m. 

Although his race pace wasn’꧋t enough to challenge for the podium, Marquez held on for a very solid seventh place finish.

Speaking about his physical condition with just one round of the year to go, Marquez added: "I’m very happy about my physical condition. Step-by-step I feel better and better, step-by-step I can play morജe with the bike and step-by-step I can better absorb the problems of th🐼e bike. 

"This was something that in the last two y🌠ears I was not able to do. About this I’m very, very hapไpy."

Right arm still not working ‘perfectly’ for Marquez after MotoGP return

Despite the positive signs, Marquez has conceded t♚hat he remains some ways away from reaching the level he wants and needs in order to be competitive on a consistent basis⛄.

Marquez, who was seen pulling all types of shapes on the bike during last weekend’s qualifying in order to achieve the position he did, joked he wanted to see how his body positi🍷on looked before going on to say his body balance ‘is not perfect’ at present.

"I don’t know! I wanna see these photos🐲," laughed Marquez. "But still I don’t have the good powe🍰r. The muscle is still not working in the best way on the right arm. 

"Still it’s not working perfectly. This wi🐻nter get the maximum of this arm but in the hard brake points still I need to find the way to have [the correct] body balance. 

"Still my body balance is not the perfect one and it’s still a job we need to𝔉 do this winter."
