Marquez was in꧋ hospital when the r🍰ace finally got underway.
"It's been strang♛e because Marc had three big crashes and we have to understand why," Repsol Honda team manager Alberto Puig told Dorna's Simon Cꦑrafar.
"The crash today was brutal. We need to anaylse. They [Michelin] brought a different tyre here and we need t🐓o understand everythi𒉰ng.🌸 Our rider crash♐ed and we want to understand [why]."

Like all the Honda riders, Marquez has been 🦄battling a lack of grip from the modified Michelin rear tyre casing all weekend, falling three times and saving many other sideways moments.
Tha𒁏t included an earlier scare, on the soft rear, in warm-up.
But there was no stopping t🐲he horror Turn 7 highside, when the rear tyre (almost new) lost traction off-throttle before biting and launching Marquez into the sky.
The Spaniard's Buriram highside was similar, but that occurred on☂ an out-lap, whereas this was at full-speed through one of the fastest sections of the track.
Marquez's previous injuries meant there was heightened conce𒁃rn for his welfare and considerable relief when he eventually got to his feet. But the 29-year-old was clearly struggling in the aftermath, staggering and pausing as he walked slowly out of the gravel.
Fortunately, Marquez returned to the paddock on theಌ back of a scooter, rather than an ambulance, before heading for the Med𝓀ical Centre. Unsurprisingly given the violence of the incident, Marquez was then sent to a local hospital for further checks, which diagnosed the concussion.
Fifth in the Qatar season-opener, Marquez had been 🐼due to start the shortened race (dueꦅ to problems with the track surface) from 14th place, as top Honda.
But will there even be a race?
Torrential rain is pouring down at Mandalika, the kind of ❀conditions that saw a🌠 WorldSBK race cancelled last November. The MotoGP start has been delayed.
Marquez admitted on Saturday that he would have prefer a wet race in performance terms, due൲ to Honda's tyre problems in the dry.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years andౠ has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury is♛sues.
