Six-time MotoGP champion Marc Marquez was nearly perfect in his debut with the Ducati Lenovo Team, winning Saturday’s Tissot Sprint during the Grand Prix of Thailand at Chang Int’l Circuit.
Marquez launched from the pole and ran away from the field to get his championship chase off to a winning start.
He finished 1.185 seconds ahead of his brother Alex, who rode the BK8 Gresini Racing machine to a second-place finish.
Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) earned some valuable points after having to settle for P3 in the first Sprint of the campaign.
Ai Ogura (Trackhouse MotoGP Team) finished fourth, with Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) fifth.
