ROUND 14 / SEPTEMBER 29-OCTOBER 1, 2023 MOTEGI MOBILITY RESORT / TOCHIGI, JAPAN MOTOGP I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P70 1 FRANCESCO BAGNAIA 3RD/2ND MOTOGP "It was a good race but very risky," Francesco Bagnaia said. "In the last two or three laps, the aquaplaning started to be too heavy; we were all with the medium rear, so it was on the limit. Before the interruption, I was closing the gap to Jorge, but then I made some mistakes and was close to losing the front, and I was back to the same gap as before. In any case, we must be happy with this result. We know perfectly well how risky it is racing on the wet, and finishing second is a good result. Now, with three points between me and Jorge, it becomes interesting, but I like it because I think it could be a good competition between us." 43 JACK MILLER 4TH/6TH MOTOGP "Not the best day but also not the worst and I'm happy we finished," Jack Miller said. "It took some time for the tires to get going in the first part, and I managed to save the rubber while gaining some time on the guys as the rain started to fall harder. We made a couple of tweaks to the bike to try and challenge those boys for the restart, but it wasn't meant to be today. Sixth place today but I wanted more." MYOWNRACE Martin controlled the Sprint Race for what looked like an easy win. It probably wasn't.
