The season-opening Thailand MotoGP could result in a first premier class win for an intriguing rider, it has🐎 been c꧙laimed.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez has been named alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli as among the favourites to win the first gran🐲d prix of 2025.

Their👍 performance in preseason testing - and their comfor💜t on the year-old Ducati which they also rode last year - means they caught the eye.

“You have to say that going into the Thailand MotoGP, the four names we’re speaking about won’t come as a surprise to anyone,” Do൲rna’s Jack Appleyard predicted.

“The big-hitter🐲s we’ll be talking about will be Alex Marquez on the GP24, Franco Morbidelli on the GP24, and Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnai𓄧a on the GP25s."

Ducati domination at Buriram predicted

“Ducati domin📖ated the Thai GP last year. In the sprint they lock🌟ed out the top eight," he added.

“T♐he ඣnearest KTM was 13-and-a-half seconds adrift over a 13-lap race!

“The nearest Yamaha was 14-and-a-half secoไnds away, Honda were 18-and-a-half seconds away, Aprilia were 19-and-a-half secon𝓡ds away.

“They had seven bikes in the top 10 at the end of practice. Thꩵey locked out the front two rows of the grid.

“This𒁏 circuit is made for Ducati! It 𒁏plays to its strengths.

“The first half-a-lap, the run to the final co𒁏rner, is hard braking, get it stopped, accelerate.

“That’s where they gain all of their time. It was a𒅌 complete Ducati domination.

“You wouldn’t be surprised to see A. ☂Marquez, M. Marquez, Morbidelli and Bagnaia inside the top five.

“I thi💫nk it’d be a huge surprise if tꦿhey don’t lock out the top four.

“Yes, some manufacturers have improved but,ꦺ at this pla🎃ce, Ducati are in a different league.”

Marc Marquez and Bagnaia are expected to fight for the 2025 Mo🐠toGP championshiಞp.

But as they adjust to 𝓀the new factory-spec Ducati, Alex Marquez is an interest♔ing pick to contend for victory in Thailand.

He hasn’t yet won a premier class race.

Morbidelli, mean🍒while, hasn’t wonꦉ a grand prix since 2020.

The first round, 𝔍the Thailand MotoGP, is this weekend - February 28-March 2.
