After losing touch with the ☂lead group in damp conditions, Marquez gr💛ew stronger as the rain got heavier. 

Aꦏfter picking off Marco Bezzecchi and immediat🤪ely dropping the Italian, Marquez began to catch the two leaders before the 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 champion told TNT sports: “The red flags werಌe 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. Wet races are very long.🔜 

“In the beginning I was very calm, the feeling was not there. I said ‘be pꦺatient’. 

“When there was more water onﷺ the track, I started to attack, to ride in a good way, to overtake riders. The pace was there.

“The second red flag was too da🧜ngerous. No light, a lot of w🥃ater. Race Direction did a correct choice.”

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

But with Maꦍrquez continuing to be linked with🌠 an exit from the Japanese brand, he admitted the situation is ‘strange’.

“Super🌠 strange,” claimed Marqu💝ez. “You know the situation, especially for me. It’s not easy. My commitment is 100%. 

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

“For this reason my commitment is there. I pu༺sh 100% 💦every time I go out on the track.”

That said, Marquez did admit𝔉 the podium was a ‘romantic’ one although he also said it has no impact on w🎐hether he will stay or leave.

“No, today’s podium or the India result, Misano or Cat♎alunya [does not impact my decision] - 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.”
