The Thai MotoGP th🏅is weekend means Marquez will have the minimum possible turnaround, after completing his first race since another major arm surgery.

The eight-time world champion qualified in pole position in Motegi, then finished fourth while overtaking 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira on the last lap, in a stunni🔴ng demonstration of his strength and grit.

He had missed eight races of this season due to a fourth operation which rotated his bone, and his ongoing recovery called into question whether he could cope with the physical demands of a fꦓull raceꦗ in the premier class.

“[Sunday] was the first day that I felt pain in the shoulder,” he told BT S𝓰port.

“Let’s see how the recovery of that arm will be.

“I was delayed [doing TV in🍒terviews] because I was on the ice already! Trying to take care.

“I will have to take painkꦰillers tonight. I rode with painkillers 📖just to keep the pain down.

“I have three days to recoꦇver well, but I don’t think it will be a problem.”

Marquez was 7.7s behind race winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller in Japan, and is still the most successful Ho🐼nda rider of anꩵ abject season for the team despite missing so many races.

He said: “I am really happy about the weekend. From Friday to Sunday we made good ♋steps and were at a solid pace.

“The race distance? I expected much worse.

“I am riding in a strange style, a strange position, but I was able to keep going at a goo🍸d pace so I am ha🦋ppy.

“I was struggling only in a few points in the circuit. I was༒ able to attack Oliveira a🌠t the end.

“It was not an amazing result if you look at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings, but it is an am💙azing result from where we were coming.”
