Bagnaia has a 27-point lead in the standings over Martin

Martin uncatchable. The Spaniard dominated qualifying at the Thai GP, the fourth to last round of the MotoGP World Championship. The 25-year-old Ducati Pramac rider routed the competition, setting the fastest time (1'29"287), which è also the new track record

Behind him, separated by more than a tenth, Marini and Espargaro. Bagnaia, the World Championship leader (27 points ahead of Martin), è had to settle for the second row. He will, in fact, start from sixth position. His gap from Martin? 0.240 tenths.

Bezzecchi’s good fourth time should be noted. Marc Marquez did not è go beyond the eighth final time while Quartararo snatched, with difficulty, the tenth position on the grid. In the race, the spotlight is on Martin, who will try to run away immediately. To Bagnaia the task of recovering positions and go after his rival for the World title.
