New podium for Marc Márquez
After a solid sprint race by Marc Márquez in which he placed seventh, the Repsol Honda team rider wanted a Top 10 on Sunday. Thanks to a good start he entered the leading group and moved into the podium positions.
However, when he was running third, on the 13th lap of the race, the track conditions worsened and a red flag came out.
With a restart over 12 laps, the riders saw that the conditions were not optimal for racing and, when a second red flag was shown, the race was terminated. This situation gave Marc Márquez third position, his first podium since the 2022 Australian Grand Prix.
Joan Mir had a good first half of the race, feeling comfortable in the rain and remaining seventh for several laps. However, he experienced problems and fell to 12th place, where he stayed until the end of the Japanese Grand Prix.
