Marc Marquez has been crowned MotoGP world champion for a third time after clinching his maiden victory in a sensational Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi on Sunday.
Marquez finished the 24-lap race in 42min 34.610sec, 2.992sec ahead of Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso and 4.104sec ahead of Maverick Vinales of Suzuki.
Movistar Yamaha riders Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo both dramatically crashed out as their championship hopes evaporated, leaving Marquez clear to wrap up the premier class crown for Repsol Honda with three races remaining.
The 23-year-old also clinched the title at Honda's own circuit in 2014 and his race win and championship victory was the perfect way to mark the Japanese manufacturer's 50th anniversary of Grand Prix racing.
