In the first few races before the race, the two drivers finished ninth and tenth respectively in qualifying. In the Sprint Sprint over the weekend, Marcus finished third and finished on the podium in both sprint races in a row. Mulmuls Jr. also had a good performance and finished seventh.
Yesterday, Sunday (October 6), the MotoGP class race took place over 24 laps and 115 kilometres. On lap 1 of the race, Queens Jr. crashed into his rival's car while trying to overtake him at Turn 11, and both were forced to withdraw from the race. After the race, Queens Jr. was also punished for running a long lap in the next race.
From the start, Marcins continued to overtake and fight back from behind, and by the end of lap 3, he had moved from ninth place on the grid to fourth. By lap 5, he was further down to third, trailing behind the leading group; For most of the rest of the race, Marcus was on his own, with the Desmosecidi GP24 in front of him already taking some distance, and the rest of the opponents behind him were also pulled away by him in a relatively "safe" distance that would not be directly attacked; In the latter stages of the race, despite approaching opponents and threatening momentum, Magquins maintained a fast pace of 1 minute and 45 seconds lap time to successfully hold his position, take third place in the race, and finish his journey in Japan with two podium finishes.
After the race in Japan, Marquins, who had finished on the podium in the last four races and three main races, temporarily ranked fourth in the drivers' standings with 311 points, only two points away from third place; Queens, who retired from the main race in two consecutive races, is temporarily in twelfth place with 124 points.
After the race in Japan, Marcus said, "I started well, but the other two opponents seemed to have a better start (it took me some time to overtake them). Overall, it was a good start and a boring one. I had to stay focused because I didn't overtake, but I made a mistake that could have cost me a podium, but in the end everything went well. Now it's time to take a break and get ready for the next race. ”
"I made a mistake at Turn 11 that knocked me off the line: I collided with Joan Mir while trying to get back into my position, which caused the crash. Our cars got tangled up and I apologize to him for what happened. Now we need to recover (form) before Australia, and besides, we (in Australia) will have to do a long lap penalty, although I don't agree with (this result): seven days ago (in Indonesia), at Turn 3, another rider hit me in the same way, but nothing (penalty) happened. This shows that the rules don't apply to everyone, but that's what they are. ”
