26/26 – LAST ROUND! Marc Marquez already has a 1.7″ lead over Alex Marquez.

24 / 26 - Alex Marquez will have a hard time holding on, Pecco Bagnaia is now very threatening and will undoubtedly try to deprive the Marquez family of a double.

23/26 – Marc Marquez takes back the lead! With three laps to go, the eight-time world champion finally decided to accelerate and crucified his brother, who may not win his first Grand Prix today.

22 / 26 - Marc Marquez still doesn't take the lead and Francesco Bagnaia takes advantage to get closer to the brothers. The end of the race is going to be unbreathable!

21 / 26 - Johann Zarco overtakes Jack Miller and finds himself 7th.

19 / 26 - Johann Zarco can believe in the top 6! Still 8th, the Frenchman has caught up with Marco Bezzecchi and Jack Miller in front of him. Faster than the Aprilia and the Yamaha, he can believe in 6th place.

18 / 26 - Pecco Bagnaia can't come back. The Italian has been 0.6″ behind Marc Marquez for several laps, without managing to get close to his teammate, who is still sticking to the back of Alex Marquez's GP-24.

16 / 26 - Joan Mir's fall! The 100th Grand Prix of the 2020 world champion ended in the gravel. What a shame for him and for Honda, because he was holding a nice 7th position. His setbacks allowed Johann Zarco to gain a place (8th).

15 / 26 - Fabio Quartararo is living a nightmare. The Frenchman is only 18th, very far from the places he would like to fight for. However, the Yamaha does not look so bad since Jack Miller is currently 6th on the Pramac M1.

14 / 26 - Alex Marquez is a bottleneck. Slower than his brother, the race leader is not widening the gap and is currently taking advantage of Marc's determination not to overtake him. On the other hand, this allows Pecco Bagnaia and Franco Morbidelli to get closer. The podium will be decided between these four men, or even with Ai Ogura, 5th.

13/26 – The ranking at the halfway point

11 / 26 - Marc Marquez remains stuck in the wheel of his brother Alex and has still not regained the lead. The eight-time world champion may have received an alert regarding his tire pressure, which would have pushed him to relieve his Michelin tires, even if it meant temporarily giving up the lead.

9 / 26 - Johann Zarco is in the top 10. The Frenchman follows Joan Mir, also equipped with a Honda, and could open his points counter today after his 10th place yesterday in a sprint.

7 / 26 - The leading trio is tightening up. After Marc Marquez's troubles, there is only one second between Alex Marquez, leader, and Pecco Bagnaia, 3rd, who must be boosted by his teammate's error.

6/26 – Problem for Marc Marquez! The leader, unperturbed until now, has just lost his head to his brother Alex. It is still difficult to know what happened...

WHAT HAPPENED TO MARC? 🤯

5 / 26 - Nice group shot from the Aprilias. Ai Ogura is 5th for the satellite Trackhouse team, two places ahead of his teammate Raul Fernandez, 7th. Marco Bezzecchi, rider of the factory team, is 8th.

3/26 – Fall of Pedro Acosta! So consistent at the start of last season, the Spaniard is starting his second year in MotoGP in a much less positive way. He returns to the track, but in largely last position. The first KTM is that of Brad Binder, only 12th.

2 / 26 - Morbidelli made a good start and finds himself 5th. He has already made up for his three-place grid penalty for obstructing Bagnaia on Friday in testing. The Ducati rider is unable to keep up with Alex Marquez, to whom he is already conceding more than a second.

1 / 26 - A. Marquez takes back 2nd place and Bagnaia is under pressure from the surprising Ai Ogura (Trackhouse), who continues to impress on his MotoGP debut.

9h02 - THE THAILAND GP HAS STARTED! Marc Marquez made a good start and leads ahead of Pecco Bagnaia, who managed to overtake Alex Marquez. Complicated start for the French: Zarco is 13th, Quartararo 16th.

9h00 - Warming tower. We are getting closer to the start time here in Buriram… The drivers have made very different tyre choices.

8h57 - 11 years: you have to go back to 2014 to find a trace of a victory for Marc Marquez in the first round of the championship. The Catalan had then won the following 10 Grands Prix…

8h51 - Fabio Quartararo in survival mode before departure

"It's very hot, over 35°C, so I would have preferred 10 or 15°C less. Today, it looks complicated, we're having a lot of trouble with the tires, it's going to be survival today. We're going to try to do the best we can." (Canal+)

🎙️ “It’s going to be survival today.”
