Marc Marquez, who had the worst season of his career, missed five of the first nine races due to injury, while he accidentally finished the other four races and missed the checkered flag.
Lastly, the biggest problem of Marquez, which we saw reaching the seventh place in the 2022 Malaysian GP, was that he pushed too hard and hurt himself with Honda, who had trouble even sitting on the line.
However, starting to act in a different mentality as of the second half of the season, Marquez preferred soft dough on the rear tire yesterday and after passing the first laps calmly, he continued to rise and finished the fight in 12th place.
This meant he was able to score points from a main race for the first time in exactly 301 days.
Speaking after the race, Marquez said: "The situation we are in is a joke, but it is not. For the first time this year, I reached the checkered flag on Sunday, the first time I scored on Sunday.” said.
"Obviously the solution is pretty simple, I just tried to approach the race with a different mindset - just like at Silverstone."
"Which is why I didn't see the checkered flag at Silverstone because it was a race accident, not because I was pushing the boundaries unnecessarily."
"Today we went on the track with a soft back compound because I was feeling good, we lost performance in the last laps but it was acceptable." said.
This performance of Marquez gives hope that he can achieve better results in the second half of the season. However, Honda needs to continue improving its bike and Marquez should not be injured.
