Ducati dominated the Thai Grand Prix with a top four lock out as the Marquez brothers finished first and second.
The 2025 MotoGP season has started in the best way for Ducati and their new superstar.
Marc Marquez dominated the entire weekend in Thailand, claiming pole position and winning the Sprint Race and Grand Prix. The Spaniard dropped to second on lap seven, but returned to the front towards the end of the race.
It was a Marquez 1-2 once again as Alex Marquez crossed the line in second on his Gresini Ducati. The younger Marquez brother did lead the race for the majority of the race, but was beaten by his brother.
Francesco Bagnaia had to settle for third for the second time this weekend as he could not match the Marquez's. The Italian was 2.3 seconds behind Marc Marquez but was unable to battle him throughout the weekend.
Ducati locked out the top four places as Franco Morbidelli took his Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team machine to a fourth place finish.
Ai Ogura has become MotoGP's newest rookie sensation as he ended the day in fifth place on his Aprilia. The Japanese rider was the top rookie and the top Aprilia all weekend in Thailand.
The factory Aprilia of Marco Bezzecchi crossed the line in sixth place, 7.5 seconds behind Ogura. After a better start than on Saturday, the Italian was competitive on his new machine.
Honda was back in the top ten in the Grand Prix as Johann Zarco and LCR Honda finished in seventh place. The Frenchman and the Japanese manufacturer have been inside the top ten for the majority of the weekend.
Red Bull KTM secured eighth and ninth place with the Factory team and Tech3. Brad Binder finished in eighth and Enea Bastianini crossed the line in ninth, just behind the South African.
Completing the top ten was the recovering Fabio di Giannantonio on his Ducati GP25.
