Francesco Bagnaia continued his strong championship run with a dominant victory in the rain-soaked Thai Grand Prix. The Ducati rider's impressive performance has significantly reduced Jorge Martin's championship lead to just 17 points with only two rounds remaining. Martin initially led the race but a crucial mistake at the hairpin allowed Bagnaia and Marc Marquez to capitalise. Bagnaia then controlled the race from the front, securing a vital win to keep his title hopes alive. The race was further spiced up by a crash involving Marquez on lap 13, opening the door for Jack Miller to challenge for a podium position. However, a late charge from Pedro Acosta saw the young Spaniard overtake both Brad Binder and Miller to secure a well-deserved third-place finish for GasGas.
