The Spaniard Maverick Vinales completed the podium, superstar Valentino Rossi (Italy/both Yamaha) finished the race in 4th place. The path to the dream For the 25-year-old Marquez, who was on pole position for the 50th time, it's about his fifth MotoGP title and his seventh overall. “That was another step on the way to the dream,” said the dominator of the past few years.

If Marquez stays ahead of Dovizioso in Motegi, Japan, he will be world champion. If the Italian doesn't finish, the title decision has also been made.
