Reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia holds a 27-point lead over Jorge Martin heading into today's Sprint race at the Thai MotoGP, after the Pramac Ducati rider’s costly soft tyre gamble backfired on the final lap at Phillip Island last weekend.
Wet weather is again a threat for all three days of this year’s grand prix weekend, but Friday was dry throughout and Saturday also dawned hot and sunny. An error from Aleix Espargaro sees him into Marc Marquez clutches - the former world champion didn't need to be asked twice, a final corner move up the inside now close enough saw him up to fourth!
The battle for second is ON - Binder sees his opportunity and slides ahead, Marini tries to lean on his rival but Binder still takes the place. Marini has not given up on second yet. We're now four laps in and Martin is maintaining his advantage out front back to Marini. Bagnaia is still ninth but cutting his gap to Zarco ahead.
