Race stewards reviewed the incident and determined that no rules were broken, confirming his win remains valid.
Marquez stated that in such unpredictable weather, riders must make split-second choices to ensure safety and maintain a competitive edge.
The victory marked a major milestone for Marquez, though the race was dominated by multiple crashes and bike swaps across the field.
