Pramac’s Jorge Martin dominated the Thailand Grand Prix sprint race to cut Francesco Bagnaia’s MotoGP championship lead to 18 points, after the latter was only seventh.
Martin converted pole to a fifth consecutive sprint victory in 2023 to bring his tally for the season up to seven, the Pramac Ducati rider 0.933 seconds clear of KTM’s Brad Binder at the chequered flag. Leading every lap, Martin came under no challenge as he romped away from the field, while Bagnaia struggled to seventh. Binder won out in a battel with VR46 Ducati’s Luca Marini, while Marc Marquez snatched fourth on his Honda from Aprilia’s Aleix Espargaro on the final lap.
9s away from points in 10th, with Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo shadowing him by 0.099s in 11th ahead of Honda’s Joan Mir. An apparent clutch issue forced Fabio Di Giannantonio to retire his Gresini Ducati, while Tech3 GasGas rider Augusto Fernandez and LCR Honda’s Takaaki Nakagami suffered falls at the last corner.
