I'm a sucker for a gutsy ride like this. Broken collarbone, banged-up knee, and still third in both the Sprint and the GP. Nearly blacking out battling Alex Marquez — that's pushing it to the edge. He claws back 32 points to sit second, 31 behind Martin. But wreck your body and it's all for nothing. This is where you also need composure.

Nearly blacking out — honestly that's too far. The body comes first.

Top five packed within 41 points — you can see why he'd force it, though.

Broken collarbone, hurt knee, and still two thirds — the grit is another dimension.

Holding up the Marquez precedent as a warning — sharp angle from the piece.
