Overview

• Fresh off clinching the title at Motegi, Márquez says the post‑win adrenaline drop and a packed slate of events have left him feeling unusually fatigued.
• He states his priority is to stay injury‑free, take only measured risks, and target podiums without “crazy” moves as he resets for 2026.
• Mandalika remains a hurdle for him, as he has yet to finish a Grand Prix there after a warm‑up crash in 2022, a race crash in 2023, and a mechanical fire in 2024.
• With Ducati already confirmed as constructors’ champion, the riders’ runner‑up fight stays open between Álex Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia, with Álex 66 points ahead and 185 still available.
• In the support classes, Manu González leads Moto2 by 34 points over Diogo Moreira, and José Antonio Rueda has a first chance to clinch Moto3 in Indonesia if he outscores Ángel Piqueras by seven.
