Japan's Sprint Race session immediately began with the drama at Turn 1. The Aprilia duo rider, Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecki, were involved in a collision so that both of them could not continue the race.
Bagnaia, who previously managed to lock pole position, managed to take first place from Turn 1 and maintain it for 12 laps.
Despite finishing in second place, Marquez is now closer to the world title. The rider nicknamed Baby Alien added nine points to strengthen his position in the standings.
He now has a total of 521 points or 191 points ahead of his younger brother Alex Marquez as his closest competitor to this season. Alex himself did not get points in this session because he finished in 10th place.
This advantage makes Marquez only need to finish better than his younger brother Alex in the main race tomorrow. If that happens then he will certainly become world champion.
This year's title is the first for Marquez since 2019 with Honda. He will automatically be equal to Valentino Rossi because they both collect seven MotoGP world titles.
