Marc Marquez finished third for Gresini Ducati in a 'super boring' Japanese Grand Prix.
Despite another podium at the Japanese Grand Prix Marc Marquez labelled the race as 'super boring'.
The Spaniard finished the 24-lap Japanese Grand Prix in third place behind Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin. However, Marquez was clearly not entertained on track during the race.
Marquez explained that the Motegi circuit makes it difficult to ride near other riders as it makes braking more difficult. The eight-time World Champion was involved in a 'battle' with Enea Bastianini that featured no overtakes.
Despite the lack of excitement on the track, Marquez was still happy with his performance as he stood on the rostrum once again.
"It was a super boring race. There were no overtakes we were just doing our rhythm.
"At this race track when you are close to another rider it makes braking a lot more difficult. But I am happy, I am super happy.
"I knew with that medium rear tyre for some reason I did not feel comfortable, like the soft one yesterday. But I knew it was the best option to be back on the podium, the soft option was too risky.
"So, I am happy, another podium, a difficult weekend but we are on the podium again so super happy."
Marquez was part of a Ducati top five lockout in the Sunday Grand Prix and a Ducati top seven lockout in the Sprint Race at Honda's own circuit.
After winning three Japanese Grands Prix and six MotoGP World Championships for the Japanese manufacturer this weekend shows just how smart Marquez was to move from Honda to Gresini.
