What a MotoGP race in Buriram, with Marc Márquez confirming the victory and complete dominance at the Thailand GP! The Spanish factory Ducati rider scored all 37 possible points, and although Álex dreamed of victory, he couldn’t hold back his brother who launched the final attack with three laps to go!

Marc Márquez was the big favorite to win Sunday’s first MotoGP race of the season, with the Spaniard leading from Álex Márquez and Pecco Bagnaia on the front row of the grid. There were 26 laps in this GP, under extremely difficult conditions for the riders.

The front trio had the same tire selection, with soft on the front and medium on the rear of the bike.

The race start favored Marc Márquez who immediately led the race, with Bagnaia and Álex having an initial contact, without severity, and Ai Ogura also getting involved in the fight for podium positions very early in the race.

With three laps completed, Marc was in front with a 0.7s lead over his brother, while Bagnaia was 1.3s behind. Pedro Acosta was the first to have real problems and at the start of the fourth lap, at turn 1, he went down without serious consequences and with the help of marshals quickly returned to the race.

From early in the race, it seemed to be turning into a replay of yesterday’s Sprint, with Marc escaping in front and having to “merely” control the gap, although with 22 laps to go, and while he was in 100% control, anything could happen.

This was the top ten so far: Marc, Álex, Bagnaia, Franco Morbidelli, Ogura, Jack Miller, Raúl Fernández, Marco Bezzecchi, Joan Mir, and Johann Zarco.

Acosta was racing against time and trying to catch Lorenzo Savadori, while at the front something unexpected happened with Marc: Álex overtook his brother and became the new leader, with something happening to the Ducati rider.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! @marcmarquez93 SLOWS DOWN AND LOSES THE LEAD 🚨#ThaiGP 🇹🇭 pic.twitter.com/fUnyJB9l7B

In an instant the race gained new excitement, Álex was leading by 0.201s and Bagnaia was 0.850s behind #73. Emotion and unpredictability in MotoGP always at its peak!!

In the following laps, Bagnaia was losing time to the two in front and was now more than 1s behind Álex, who in turn had a 0.233s lead over Marc. At the tail end of the standings, Acosta was 9.6s behind Savadori.

While Ducatis dominated, unsurprisingly, Ogura continued to shine and was the best Aprilia rider in fifth, Miller the best Yamaha in sixth, Mir the best Honda in seventh after beating Fernández, and Brad Binder the best KTM in 13th. Mir meanwhile climbed to seventh after beating Bezzecchi.

With 12 laps to go, Álex remained in front and the top three remained unchanged, while in the opposite direction, Mir, who was having a beautiful race, became another victim of turn 12 and went down.

A couple of laps later, Miller and Bezzecchi battled for sixth position but the Italian was getting the better of it for now, but at the front of the race, the impression was that it would be a matter of time until Marc attacked Álex, with the gap varying marginally between them. Bagnaia, in third, was 1.154s behind and had Morbidelli 1.093s behind him.

Among the Yamahas, further down the standings, Miguel Oliveira (16th) was outperforming Quartararo (17th) in their “battle,” who was 0.451s behind, well behind Miller in seventh. And further down, Acosta was now 0.8s behind Savadori.

Fermín Aldeguer meanwhile beat Fernández and reached 13th, Binder was tenth, ahead of Enea Bastianini. Zarco in seventh was the best-placed Honda, just after beating Miller who remained the best Yamaha rider. Miller responded but Zarco took back seventh position soon after, and Fabio Di Giannantonio was 0.170s behind the Australian from Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP.

The race entered the decisive phase with only five laps to go and the gap between Marc and Álex was shorter than ever at 0.050s, but Álex was holding on, and Bagnaia remained lurking at 0.6s.

Fernández abandoned the race, with the reasons not yet known.

With three laps to go, Marc confirmed the overtake and was in front of the GP! Álex tried, tried, tried, but couldn’t hold back his brother any longer.

Marc Márquez won the opening GP of the World Championship for the first time in eleven years, which clearly shows what #93 wants in 2025!
