BURIRAM (THAILAND) – Same podium and same positions as in the Sprint. Marc Marquez, riding the Ducati Lenovo, wins the Grand Prix of Thailand, held at the Chang circuit. Second place for Alex Marquez (Ducati Gresini): for the first time in top class history two brothers occupy the first two positions in a grand prix. Third, however, was Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo). It was not an easy race for Marc Marquez, struggling with a front tire pressure problem, probably too low. To avoid a penalty, therefore, the eight-time world champion voluntarily joined his brother Alex in trying to get the tire up to temperature. With four laps to go, the Spaniard then returned to the lead and triumphed with a margin. Franco Morbidelli (Ducati Pertamina) and rookie Ai Ogura (Aprilia Trackhouse) were fourth and fifth, respectively. In order, Marco Bezzecchi, Johann Zarco, Brad Binder, Enea Bastianini and Fabio Di Giannantonio complete the top ten. Acosta and Mir fell.
