Jorge Martin won the rain-affected, red-flag-shortened FIM MotoGP World Championship race at Mobility Resort Motegi, in Japan. The race was started as a dry race, but rain drops were beginning to fall as the start lights went out. As soon as the race was started, the rain flags began to wave, indicating riders could come into the pits to change to bikes with rain tires, if they chose to do so, and many did. The rain intensified and the race was eventually stopped short on lap 13 due to the deteriorating track conditions. It was not restarted, the race was declared complete, and the finishing order was set from the lap 12 running order. Prima Pramac Racing Ducati s Jorge Martin was awarded the victory, his third race win of the season to go with his five Sprint race wins. Defending Champion Francesco Bagnaia got second, 1.413 seconds behind Martin, on his Lenovo Team Ducati. Marc Marquez was a close third
