Marc Marquez has wrapped up the 2014 MotoGP title by finishing runnꦚer-up to Jorge Lorenzo at Motegi in Ja♈pan.
To be crowned champion in Honda's home round Marquez needed to beat ꧋team-mate Dani Pedrosa, lose no more than three points to Valentino Rossi and no more than 15 to Lorenzo.
Marquez overtook Pedrosa for fourth on the o⭕pening lap, then passed Ducati pole sitter Andrea Dovizioso just before the halfway stage, leaving only Movistar Yamaha riders Lorenzo and Rossi ahead.
After seeing his first attempt to overtake Rossi rebuffed, Marquez made his title winning🌳 pass for second with nine laps remaining. Lorenzo was already two-seconds clear by that stage, with Marquez forced to push hard to keep Rossi at bay.
Lorenzo won his second race ꦓof the season by 1.638s from Marquez, with Rossi 0.964s behind to complete the podium. Pedrosa had edged his way towards the podi꧅um fight, finishing half a second from Rossi but 11 seconds ahead of Andrea Dovizioso.
Dovizioso took Ducati's first pole since 2010, using the extra-soft tyre, in qualifying. The Italian then joined the Honda anಞd Yamaha riders on the soft rear/medium front for the race.
Andrea Iannone (Pramac), Stefan Bradl (LCR Honda), Pol Espargaro (Tech 3 Yamaha), Bradley Smith (Tech 3 Yamaha) and Alvaro Bautista (Gresini Honda)🦋 compl𓂃eted the top ten.
Aleix Espargaro (Forward Yamaha) was the top Open rider in eleventh, with wil🧸d-card Katsuyuki Nakasuga (Yamaha) twelfth and countryman Hiroshi Aoyama (Aspar) the top Open Honda rider in 13th.
Cal Crutchlow lost the front of his Ducati early in the race, Danilo Petrucci (Ioda). Karel🌠 Abraham (Ioda) and Yonny Hernandez (🧸Pramac) joined the Englishman on the DNF list.

Despite missing two of the three pre-season tests, due to a broken leg in a dirt track training accident, the 21-year-old left his rivals on the ropes by winning the openi𒐪ng ten races in a row.
Such attacking spirit would cost Marquez in the form of falls at Misano and Aragon, but his advantage meant he still had fo𝐆ur chances to lift theꦛ 2014 title, starting at Motegi.
Marquez has won 17 of his 3🐬2 MotoGP races, finishing on the podium 28 times. If he can win one more race this season he will match the all-time rec💃ord of twelve in a year by Mick Doohan in 1997.
Prior to joining the MotoGP class Marqueꦉz won the 125cc title in 2010 and the Moto2 championship in 2012, ꧅one year after career threatening eye injuries scuppered his 2011 hopes.
Marquez has signed to remain with Honda in 🅷MotoGP until at least the end o♛f 2016.
