JAKARTA - Aprilia Racing rider Marco Bezzecchi became the MotoGP Thailand champion in the main race which took place at the Chang International Circuit, Buriram, Sunday, March 1, 2026.
The Bezz became the fastest after appearing solid throughout the race to maintain the leading position.
Starting the race from the front row, Bezzecchi immediately stepped on the gas trying to get away from the pursuit of the Ducati Lenovo rider Marc Marquez.
Entering the second lap, the third position changed greatly after Marc was pushed by Trackhouse racer Raul Fernandez and Aprilia Racing racer Jorge Martin.
The top three positions are now in sequence, namely Bezzecchi, Raul Fernandez, and Jorge Martin.
Having tried to grab the third position, Marc actually lost his position after being overtaken by Pedro Acosta.
The fight for third place was fierce until lap 10 when Marc was able to take advantage of the momentum and maneuver Martin and Acosta's positions. However, Acosta was able to retake third place from Marc.
In the lead, Bezzecchi continued to widen the gap from Raul Fernandez's chase.
The drama happened on lap 21 when Marc had to leave the circuit because the flat tire condition could not carry him on the race.
Entering lap 22, Pedro Acosta gave a surprise maneuver to take over second place from Raul Fernandez.
Until the race was over, The Bezz was untouched followed by the podium occupied by Acosta and Raul Fernandez.
This victory is a valuable capital for the Italian racer after previously undergoing a sprint race session with poor results after failing to finish.
