Marc Marquez Triumphs in Season-Opening Thai MotoGP with Family One-Two Finish

The six-time world champion secures victory in Buriram after a thrilling battle with brother Alex, marking a dominant debut for Ducati.

Marc Marquez clinched his 63rd MotoGP victory, finishing 1.732 seconds ahead of his brother Alex Marquez in the 26-lap race at Buriram International Circuit.
The win capped a perfect debut weekend for Marc with the factory Ducati team, as he also won Saturday’s sprint race and secured pole position for a maximum of 37 championship points.
Francesco Bagnaia, Marc’s new teammate and a two-time world champion, completed the podium in third place, highlighting Ducati's strong start to the season.
The race was marked by intense sibling rivalry, with Marc regaining the lead from Alex in the final laps after overcoming a mid-race tyre pressure issue.
The season opener was overshadowed by the absence of defending world champion Jorge Martin, who is recovering from multiple fractures sustained in pre-season accidents.
