Post-Race Reactions
🏆 1st – Marc Márquez (Ducati Lenovo Team)
“Yesterday felt great, but today is even better. This new journey with the Ducati Lenovo Team has started in the best possible way. Thailand is a special place for me, as it’s where I clinched the championship in the past, and to win here again with my brother on the podium is just incredible.”
🥈 2nd – Álex Márquez (Gresini Ducati)
“I really thought I had a shot at the win today, but Marc was right behind me the whole time. While he was managing his rear tire, I had to push harder at the front. As I mentioned yesterday, my goal was to finish second, and I gave it my all. It wasn’t easy defending against Pecco (Bagnaia), but I’m happy to be back on the podium.”
🥉 3rd – Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team)
“I tried to close the gap to Álex Márquez in the final laps, but it was tough. Marc controlled the race from start to finish. I was aiming for second, but I lost time in certain parts of the track.”
