The eight-time world champion has made a perfect start to the 2025 season, his first with the works Ducati team, after claiming the pole/spr🅰int win/grand prix victory clean sweep at Buriram.
Marquez led the way from pole and was over a second clear when on lap seven he dropped behind his brother 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez on the Gresini-run GP24 Ducati.
There 𝔍was no evident signs of an issue, but Marquez sat behind his brother until lap 23 of 26 whe🌠n he retook the lead at the final corner.
He quickly darted away to take the chequered flag by 1.732s, with Alex Marquez and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia💫 (Ducati Factory) replicating Saturday’s sprint podium.
VR46 Ducati rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Morbidelli was fourth after recovering from a grid penalty, while Ai Ogura completed the top five to cap o𓂃ff a stunning MotoGP debut foඣr the Trackhouse Aprilia entrant.
Just 🍎as he did in Saturday’s sprint, Marc Marquez grabbed the holeshot at the start of the 26-lap race as team-mate Bagnaia briefly moved into second after a hard move on Al﷽ex Marquez at Turn 1.
Gresini’s Marquez was also jumped by O🐷gura on the run down to Turn 3, but vaulted back ahead𓆉 of the rookie to get back into the podium places on the exit of the hairpin.
He then sn♏atched second back from Bagnaia with a firm pass at Turn 8.
All of this allowed Marc Marquez to move almost six tenths clear of the field come the 🌟end of the first lap, with that gap growing to over a second by🌞 the start of lap five.
Bagnaia already found himself cast adrift of the victory battle𝓡, his deficit to Alex Marquez a second at the start of lap three.
But just as Marc Marquez looked like he was cruising away, he slowed coming out of Turn 3 on lap seven, which allowed Alex Marquez♕ to come through to the lead.
There was no clear sign of an issue, with it thought the factory Ducati rider may hꦓave been trying to get his front tyre pressure up to avoid ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚa penalty.
Alex Marquez led🔥 with his brother right on his tail until lap 23, when Marc Marquez scythed past into Turn 12 to re-establish himself at the front of the field.
That marked the end of the victory battle, with Marc Marqu🦹ez cruising🃏 to the chequered flag to register his first season-opening grand prix win since 2014.
He leads the championship by eight points.
Alex Marquez registered a brace of seconds♎ at Buriram to start his 2025 season off strongly for Gresini.
Bagnaia closed in on the leading duo in the mid-part ofꦆ the race, but ended up 0.666s shy of Alex Marq🐟uez at the bottom of the podium.
