"It's impossible even to speak... I just want to enjoy the moment, but it's true that it was difficult, it was super difficult, but now I'm at peace with myself, said an emotional Marquez. I did a big mistake in my career, to come back too early [from surgery] and then I fight, fight, fight and I won again! So I'm at peace."
"Ducati's Marc Marquez clinched his seventh MotoGP world championship at the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday and his first since 2019 after he took an unassailable lead with five rounds to spare. Marquez needed to outscore his brother, Alex, of Gresini Racing by three or more points by the end of the weekend, and finished second behind his teammate Francesco Bagnaia in Sunday's race to clinch the title."
Marc Marquez secured his seventh MotoGP world championship at the Japanese Grand Prix, reclaiming the title after 2,184 days. He finished second to teammate Francesco Bagnaia and outscored his brother Alex, who finished sixth, creating a 201-point margin. Marquez required at least a three-point advantage over Alex by the weekend's end to clinch the championship and accomplished that with five rounds to spare. Emotional reaction followed the finish: Marquez held his head, screamed, and watched a montage that recalled more than 100 crashes and four operations across six years. The victory was commemorated by engraving his name on the Tower of Champions trophy. Race action saw Bagnaia lead early while Marquez later passed Pedro Acosta for position.
