Winner, Marc Marquez said: “This was one of the toughest races of the year for me physically and I’m happy to have equalled Mick Doohan’s record. “We knew to expect this kind of weather but it was especially hot and we all found it hard to finish the race.
“Halfway into the race the pace slowed down because I think everybody needed to take a breath.
“I’m happy with how I handled the race, because the first corner was a bit of a nightmare but I was able to come back to the front and stay there. “I started to attack with 10 laps remaining, then made the difference when there were five laps to go.”
