Reigning and now five-time MotoGP World Champion still has titles on his mind as Honda want to take the team and constructor titles in 2018.

The Repsol mob had quite an advantage over Ducati before the flyaways began but with Dani Pedrosa, Marquez and Cal Crutchlow not scoring points in Australia, the manufacturer titles are still all to play for.

“We had quite an eventful race in Australia and it was a pity we couldn’t fight until the end, but that’s gone now and we look forward to the next round in Malaysia with our usual spirit and positive mentality,” Marquez said.

“We still have our target of two more titles to achieve, and we also want to try and win again if we have the chance to do so.

“Malaysia is a demanding round from a physical point of view but that’s something we’re prepared to deal with, so we’ll keep our concentration high and try to start strong beginning on Friday morning.”
