Alex Marquez Explains Foot “Mistakes” Behind Motegi MotoGP Crashes
Alex Márquez said a foot-position error and wrong downshift caused both crashes, and his non-scoring finish dropped him to ninth in the championship.
- On Sunday, October 4, Marc Marquez won his fourth Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi Circuit, completing a sprint-race double and reducing Jorge Martin's championship lead to two points.
- Michelin introduced a hard-construction rear tyre for Motegi's new asphalt, but riders ignored it until Sunday's warm-up revealed it was the most performant option available.
- Jack Miller crashed on lap 19 of 24 due to high tyre pressure, while Alex Marquez crashed twice in one day due to shifting errors, calling the mistakes 'disappointing.'
- Luca Marini suggested Michelin 'investigate' why the hard tyre performed so well, while Maverick Vinales finished 14th, marking his return from a shoulder injury.
- The championship heads to Indonesia next, where Vinales expects an 'easier' time at Mandalika, as teams prepare for Pirelli's role as official tyre supplier next year.
