From pole position, Jorge Martin confidently secured his fifth sprint victory in a row in Buriram on Saturday, but after the collapse in the last lap of the Australian GP last weekend, the Pramac Ducati star is ahead of the 26-lap race in Thailand warned. He led from the start, but approached it tactically cleverly. Red Bull KTM ace Brad Binder attacked for the first time on the 20th lap, and an exciting fight developed down to the last few meters.
Pecco Bagnaia was also there after another turbulent start, but was unable to make any maneuvers. Because Brad Binder exceeded the track limits on the last lap, the World Championship leader subsequently moved up to second place. The Ducati-Lenovo factory rider thus maintained a lead of 13 points in the World Championship table over his victorious brand colleague and title rival Martin.
By the way: Bagnaia crossed the finish line in third place, 0.253 seconds behind. This means the fourth closest gap between the top three in the history of the “premier class”.
