MARC MARQUEZ CLAIMS DOMINANT VICTORY IN THAILAND AS MotoGP™ CALENDAR LOOKS AHEAD TO QATAR

Marc Marquez delivered a masterclass performance at the season-opening PT Grand Prix of Thailand, claiming victory on his Ducati Lenovo Team machine and becoming the first rider to win on their Ducati Grand Prix debut since Casey Stoner in 2007.

The six-time MotoGP™ World Champion converted his pole position into a commanding race win, completing the 26 laps in 39'37.244 with an average speed of 179.3 km/h. Marquez led from the start, maintaining his form from Saturday's Sprint Race victory and securing a perfect 25 points to strengthen his championship campaign.

In a thrilling family affair, Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) completed the podium in second place, 1.732 seconds behind his brother, while two time world champion Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) rounded out the podium in third position, 2.398 seconds off the pace.

The Chang International Circuit race saw impressive performances throughout the field, with Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) and rookie sensation Ai Ogura (Trackhouse MotoGP Team) completing the top five. Ogura's result marked the best Grand Prix finish by a rookie since 2013.
