Marc Marquez pips brother Alex to win Thai GP on Ducati debut. Marquez is first rider since Casey Stoner in 2007 to win on a Ducati. Ai Ogura becomes first rookie since 2013 (Marquez himself) to finish in the top five. Joan Mir falls on Lap 16, ending his race at the Chang International Circuit.. Pedro Acosta’s charge ended abruptly with a fall on Lap 4.. Jack Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha) and Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) involved in a battle for sixth place, with Jack Miller finishing in sixth place. The race unfolded with drama from the very beginning. Marc led the opening laps, with his brother Alex Marquez in second, and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) holding third. The top three, in fact, mirrored the Sprint results from Saturday, with Marquez taking the lead on Lap 7 and Alex taking second on Lap 8. The cause of his earlier slow-down remains unclear, though tire conservation or fuel management might have played a role. Marc made his decisive move, overtaking Alex at Turn 12. From there, he controlled the race and secured the victory, while Alex held off a late charge from Bagnia to secure second.
