Six-times MotoGP champion Marc Márquez continued his perfect start to life with factory Ducati as he completed a weekend double at the season-opening Thailand Grand Prix on Sunday, finishing ahead of younger brother Alex Márquez.
The sprint winner Marc Márquez got off to an electric start on pole in hot and humid conditions at the Buriram International Circuit but Alex, who had qualified second on the grid, managed to break free to take the lead in the seventh lap of the 26-lap race.
With three laps to go, Marc snatched back the lead to win the opening race of the MotoGP season for the first time since 2014. Twice MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia, Marc Márquez’s new teammate, came in third to complete an all-Ducati podium.
