After losing touch with the lead grou🌊p in damp conditions, Marquez grew stronger as the rain got heavier. 

After picking o👍ff Marco Bezzecchi and immediately dropping the Italian, Marquez began to catch the two leaders before ൩the red flags were waved.

Speaking about the timing of the red flags, which came as the Repsol Honda rider began to aquaplane on the start-finish straight, the eight-time world cha🔴mpion told TNT sports: “The red flags were at the correct time. It’s true that [the red flags came] when I was fastest, but we need to be fair. 

“Even before the red flag I put my hand up because it was too dangerous.🐬 We𒀰t races are very long. 

“In the beginning I wa๊s very calm, th🌞e feeling was not there. I said ‘be patient’. 

“When there was mor🎀e water on the track, I started to attack, to ride in a good way, to overtake riders. The pace was the🅺re.

“The second red flag was too dangerous. No light, a lot of 🔜water. Race Directio♌n did a correct choice.”

Given the struggles Marquez and ꦗHonda have gone through so far in 2023, a podium in Japan is 🍃a huge result.

But with Marquez continuing to be linked with an exꦍit from the Japanese brand, he ♐admitted the situation is ‘strange’.

“Super strange,” claimed Marquez. ꦫ“You know theꦐ situation, especially for me. It’s not easy. My commitment is 100%. 

“I am thankful to Honda, the support me a lot, we have a good relatꦫi𒆙onship and this is important. 

“For this reason myꩵ commitment is there. I push 💙100% every time I go out on the track.”

That said, Marquez did admit tℱhe podium was a ‘romantic’ one although he also said it has n🌳o impact on whether he will stay or leave.

“No, today’s podium or the India result, Misano or Catalunya [does not impact my de𝓡cision] - I have a clever mentality and I know what needs to happen,” stated Marquez. “We can say that today’s podium was a very romantic podium. It was very nice.”
