Marc Marquez (Ducati) is preparing for the MotoGP season finale in Bali

Following the Indonesian Grand Prix, a number of MotoGP riders set off on their return journey to Europe to make the most of the two-week break in their respective home countries, either for training sessions or to relax. KTM rider Pedro Acosta, for example, is taking part in motocross sessions in Spain to prepare for the final five Grands Prix of the year.

Others, meanwhile, have stayed in Asia to avoid the rigours of a long journey home and to enjoy a holiday. Championship leader Jorge Martin (Aprilia) has settled in Lombok with his girlfriend Maria – the very place where the MotoGP race weekend took place. His closest rival in the championship, Marc Marquez (Ducati), has headed to the Indonesian island of Bali.
