The weekend at Motegi ended in disappointment for Alex Marquez after a string of incidents prevented him from seeing the checkered flag. The Spanish rider admitted that he can no longer afford such costly errors if he wants to remain a consistent threat at the front.
According to reports from Motosan.es, his Sunday challenges began early with a crash during the morning warm-up session. The situation deteriorated further when he had to serve a double long lap penalty before sliding out of the main grand prix entirely.
Despite the strong underlying pace displayed by the Gresini Racing machinery throughout the event, minor technical missteps heavily compromised his final outcome. A momentary lapse in foot positioning while cornering at a steep lean angle inadvertently caused him to downshift twice.

Meanwhile, the behavior of the hard compound tires posed an unexpected puzzle for several teams on the grid. Unfamiliar tire characteristics forced riders and crews to rethink their strategies moving forward into the final stretch of the season.
With the championship entering its decisive phase, minimizing mistakes is now just as vital as raw speed on the track. Regaining full consistency remains the primary target for the younger Marquez brother.
