Marc Marquez starts Saturday at Sepang holding the world championship lead by ten points over injured rival Jorge Martin.
Martin lost the world championship lead and suffered a fracture to his wrist when he fell while battling Marquez for victory at last Saturday’s Phillip Island.
That ruled Martin out of Sunday’s grand prix, but he was saved from any further loss of points when the race was cancelled.
