Marqu🍷ez returned to the podium in a grand prix for🌺 the first time since Phillip Island last season, when he finished second to Alex Rins.

The Honda rider, who will officially be leaving for 🌳Ducati at the end of this season, had secured two podiums in the sprint format (Portimao and Buddh) prior to his podium a♚t Motegi.

• LCR Honda vs Repsol Hond♈a tug-of-war over Johann Z🐷arco? 
• Miguel Oli🥃veira reported as Ho✅nda's No 1 hope to replace Marc Marquez

With just six races left in the colours of Repsol Honda, Marquez is clear about his hopes for those 🍃races.

"Our objective for this race is exactly the same as the ones which remain this year: go out and do our maximum to finish 202💦3 in the best way possible as a team," said the eight-time world champion. 

"Indonesia is always an incredible country to visit, you can rea🎐lly feel the passion of the fans here and I enjoy coming here more and more each time. 

"Unfortunately, last year I had a𝓡 crash in Warm Up so finally I wasn’t able to race but I rode here in the test and during practice as well so we have some idea what to expect this year. 

"Let’s put on a good s𒐪how this weekend andಌ really just enjoy it."

A❀fter already losing Rins to 🦂Yamaha, and now Marquez, the Japanese manufacturer will be relying on Joan Mir to be their lead rider next season.

Despite mid-season rumours that he too could look for a way 𝕴out, the 2020 world champion with Suzuki is staying at Honda and feels ready to back-up his top six finish in Japan with another strong showing.

Mir added: "We arrive in Indonesia after a week at home, refreshed and ready to go. In Japꦐan we had some disappointment, but I am looking to put that behind me and use it for motivation. 

"Last year we achieved a good result in si💞xth in very tricky conditions so we need to see what’s possible this weekend and also what the weather does. Right now the forecast is looking very hot!"
