Ducati completed a top-eight lockout in Thailand as Enea Bastiaini dominated the Sprint Race.
Enea Bastianini returns to winning ways in MotoGP as he dominates the Thai Grand Prix Sprint Race. This is the Italian's first Sprint Race victory since the British Grand Prix in August.
In second place was the MotoGP World Championship leader, Jorge Martin. The Spaniard was over a second behind Bastianini but was able to beat his Championship rival.
Francesco Bagnaia had to settle for third place in the Sprint Race. The reigning MotoGP World Champion could not match Martin's pace and has lost more ground in the title fight.
Just off the podium was the Australian Grand Prix race winner, Marc Marquez. The Spaniard could not match the GP24 riders ahead of him so had to settle for a fourth-place finish on Saturday.
Ten seconds behind Bastianini was Alex Marquez in fifth place on the Gresini Racing MotoGP machine. Behind Marquez was Franco Morbidelli in sixth place on the Prima Pramac Racing Ducati.
In seventh and eighth were the two Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team riders Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio di Giannantonio. The Italian riders completed a Ducati top-eight lockout in Thailand.
Taking the final point on Saturday was the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider, Brad Binder who finished in ninth.
