Moto3 Japan - Race Results

Title rivals Jack Miller and Alex Marquez battled for victory throughout the race, with four other riders going the distance with them.

Pole sitter Danny Kent and Miller then both ran wide at the end of the back straight on the final lap - almost colliding as they rejoined - allowing Marquez to win and extend his championship lead to 25 points over Miller with three rounds to go.

Team-mate Alex Rins fought back after running wide at the first turn, but is now a further 12 points behind...
