Defending MotoGP champion Pecco Bagnaia emerged victorious in the wet Thai Grand Prix at Buriram, with Marc Marquez crashing in his pursuit. Jorge Martin secured second place after Marquez’s crash, minimizing his points deficit to Bagnaia as they approach the final two rounds with Bagnaia holding a 17-point lead. Despite expectations of a dry race, rain played a significant role throughout Sunday’s action, drenching the track before the MotoGP race, preventing teams from switching to slick tires. Martin initially led the race, but Bagnaia and Marquez quickly overtook him, leading to a thrilling battle between Bagnaia and Marquez. Marquez attempted a final corner pass on Bagnaia but ultimately crashed out, allowing Bagnaia to claim victory. Acosta’s third-place finish marked the end of his four-race DNF streak and solidified his position as the only non-Ducati rider to reach the podium since April. Fabio Di Giannantonio capitalized on Miller’s mistake to secure a higher finish, adding to Miller’s disappointments in the race.
