168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez dealt a “knockout blow” to his competition, according to an awe-struck rant after the Thailand MotoGP.

The factꦚory Ducati debutant blew away his rivals all weekend, claiming pole position then winning the sprint and the gr💃and prix.

Marquez shrugged off a tyre pressure worry to cruise behind his brother Alex Marquez - before a perfectlyꦰ-timed overtake enabled his measured victory in Buriram on Sunday.

Marc Marquez 'pulverised opponents' at Thai MotoGP

“The only man better than [Alex Marquez] was hisꦛ brother, who was just in a𒅌nother league,” TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson said.

“That was a Marc Marquez performance. He rod✅e around near his brother t🎶o get his front tyre temperature up.

“We forget it’s ♏so difficult to do that. You get all the heat off the bike and it’s exhausting. You have to deal w🅘ith doing the calculation.

“That was a win with one hand on his hip, in the first race of the seas💟🐲on.

“He has absolutely pulverised his opponents. Look at Bagඣnaia’s body la💞nguage - he’s done.

“It’s a knockout blow in the first round.

“Yes, I know it’s a 22-round championship. I know there’s 21 roun🐭ds to go and anything can happen, and we’l𒐪l have all sorts of different conditions. But what a performance!

“Pecco is wa♑lking around 𒉰punch-drunk - he’s been battered!

“That’s❀ before we mention anyone else because there are no 🦹other rivals, they aren’t in his league.

“Serious meetings need to happen. Riders n♋eed to look at themselv⛄es. They are 20-odd seconds behind him - and Marc was sat back! He waited to pass with two laps to go, and pulled 1.1s in his first attempt to have a go!

“I’ve never seen anything ♌like it, it’s unbelievable. He’s on another level, i✅t’s unbelievable what I witnessed.”

Marquez threatened the kind of performance that was delivered at Buriram last year, when he mounted a title challenge despite riding inferior machinery to eve🍒ntual champion Jorge Martin and Bagnaia.

His step up into Ducati’s fac🎃tory team has given him equal machinery to Bagnaia, while Martin deals with injury and adapting to the Aprilia.

It has also threatened Bagnaia’s popular status within the Ducati ꧟camp - particularly after a glorious debut win.

Marquez leads the MotoGP championship for the first time since 2019. The next rou𒁏nd is in Argentina on March 14-16.
