"That mistake meant we couldn't finish the lap and it was a൲ lap to be 𒈔on the second row. 

"But unfortunately, starting ninth, it becomes super difficult to overtake here🐠.

"I still did some nice overtakes and we aꦜrrived at the maximum [we could], especially because the GP24s opened a gap.

"Let's see if tomorrow in the longer race♉ we can have a good start and fight with the๊m."

With Enea Bastiani♓ni finishing fourth, Marquez༒ is now tied on points with the factory Ducati rider for third in the world championship.
