On paper, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez lost his first German Grand Prix race at the Sachsenring since 2009 in the 125cc cla𝐆ss on Sunday.

Yet the eight-time world champion 𝓡was all smiles after theꩵ race.

“I feel like I won. I mean, 𒁏this is the real feeling,” Marquez told MotoGP.com.

That’s because Marquez not only finished a gruelling weekend of injuries, technical issues and a poor qualifying in a surprise se💝cond place - but formed a unique podium double with younger brother Alex.

It was the first time two brothers have shared a ‘MotoGP’-era podium 🔯and the first time in the premier class since Nob💃uatsu and Takuma Aoki at Imola in 1997.

According to the #93, it was also probably the first and last time he shares a MotoGP rostrum with Alex as a team-ma🌠te.

“I'm super happy to share the podium with my brother. It's a day I will never forget because it will be difficult to repeat in the ♔future,” Marc said.

“Honestly speaking, t🎃his season, I say it will be impossible [to re🧜peat].

“Why? Because it's diff💛icult for me to be on the podium. For him, also. So to find the same Sunday when both of us are ཧon the podium was something a bit unreal. And then in a dry race, a very fast race. He's a very talented rider and today he showed it.

“I hope my Dad and Mum enjoyed it because maybe it’s the last time we share a podium. We will enj✃oy it as if it’s the ⭕last time!”

The post-race atmosphere would have been more awkward if Jorgeꦯ Martin hadn’t crashed out of the lead on the penultimate lap, with Marc having caught his brother for what was th𝓡en shaping up to be a family battle over third place.

“When I was ✨catch♓ing my brother, there were many question marks,” Marc admitted. “I thought, ‘What can I do: Attack? Take a risk? If something happens, what happens? I mean, it was also a nice podium for him.

“But unfortunately for Martin, but good for us, because this is racing, and we were both on the podium, which 🍬made 🎀these last two laps easier.”

Given the weekend the older Marquez had experienced up unti꧟l Sunday, few would beg✅rudge him a little luck.

“The weekend was not good. We had a lot of technical issues and I made that big mistake in Turn 11 that affected ev🐬erything,” said Marquez, referring to the huge Friday highside that left him with a broken left index finger and painful bruising to his ribs.

But after salvaging sixth with the aid of the strongest painkillers available in the Sprint race, the Spaniard felt much better on Sunday morning and 🌱was back into ‘Marquez-mode’.

“I didn't expect to finish on the podium but the first and the most important thing is that today I got up and felt better,” he explained. “I said to the𒉰 team, ‘Today I can ride aggressive. I can ride in Marquez mode’. Yesterday I was being super smooth.”

“The ribs were much better so I co💛uld breathe and move around on the bike. The finger in the end is broken a🔜nd it's moving a bit, but now we will fix it and it was not a big problem.”

But it was far from a hassle-free recovery from 13th place, Marquez breaking his scree🍸n after tangling with Franco Morbidelli in an impact big enough to also deploy his ai♔rbag.

Dropping back toℱ sixth behind Enea Bastianini, Marquez reacted to the se♛tback by going ‘all-in’.

“My plan was don't stress too much the tyres and try to make the comeback in a slow way, because it’s super difficult to 🍰overtake here. In fact, the contact with Morbidelli was 😼unexpected and I lost a lot of time.

“T🌜wo laps before he had the same move, and I just rolled the gas. But then when he went wide again there was a contact that I didn't expect🍎. Fortunately for both of us, we were OK.

“But that was also the point that made🐼 me click: ‘Now all-in’!

“I had a good battle with Bastianini. We overtake two times. Then I caught [Morbidelli] in two laps andཧ overtook him aggressively, bu💧t it was the only move to overtake him.”

Marc then began reeling in Alex for what looked like a Marquez vs Marquez podium show💦down, before Martin’s exit.

“If you said to me on Thursday, ‘You will not win, but you will share the podiౠum with your brother,’ I would say, ‘Okay!’

“Then the wee♛kend became super difficult, but this second place covers everything.

“Before the race, I took a cocktail 𒀰[of painkillers], but tonight I will take another type of cocktail!” he joked.

Marquez remains third in the world championship, 56 points behind new title leader and future factory Ducati♈ team♚-mate Francesco Bagnaia.
