Marquez 🦩was in hospital when the race finally got underway.
"It's been strange because Marc had three big crashes and w🦂e h꧃ave to understand why," Repsol Honda team manager Alberto Puig told Dorna's Simon Crafar.
"The crash today was brutal. We need to anaylse. They [Michelin] brought a ಞdiffere♎nt tyre here and we need to understand everything. Our rider crashed and we wa𒅌n🌄t to understand [why]."

Like all the Honda r💯iders, Marquez has been battling a lack of grip from the modified Michelin rear tyre casing all weekend, falling three times and saving many other sidewa𒉰ys moments.
That included an🦩 earlier scare, on the soft rear, in w🧸arm-up.
But there was no stopping the horror Turn 7 highside, 🎐when the rear tyre (almost new) lost traction off-throttle before biting and launching Marquez into the sky.
The Spaniard's Buriram highside was similar, but that occurred on an out-lap, whereas this was at full-speed through one o🍌f the fastest sections of the track.
Marquez's previous injuries meant there was heightened concern for his welfare and considerableꦫ relief when he eventually got to his feet. But the 29-year-old was clearly struggling in the aftermath, staggering and pausing as he walked slowly out of the gravel.
Fortunately, Marquez returned to the paddock on the back of a scooter, rather than an ambulance, before heading for the Medical Centre. Unsurprisingly given the 🥂violence of the incident, Marquez was then sent to a local hospital for further checks, which diagnosed the concussion.
Fifth in the Qatar season-opener, Marquez had been due to start the shortened race (due to problems with the🍸 track surface) from 14th place, as top Honda.
But will there even be a race?
Torrential rain is pouring down at Mandalika, the kind of condition🧸s that saw a WorldSBꦗK race cancelled last November. The MotoGP start has been delayed.
Marquez admitted on Saturday that he would have prefer a wet race in performance terms, due to Honda's tyre pr𝔍oblems in the dry.
