Marc Marquez (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) was awarded the 'Qatar Airways Best Take Off' by fans after the Pertamina Grand Prix of Indonesia, thanks to a flawless start in the Tissot Sprint that earned him a hard-fought third place in Mandalika.
On a bittersweet Saturday, where the eight-time World Champion was relegated to 12th on the grid after suffering two crashes and failing to complete a 'time attack' in Q2, Marquez delivered a spectacular start in the weekend's short race. He surged to fifth place within just one corner, then continued his charge to claim the bronze medal.
