The 2025 MotoGP season kicked off in spectacular fashion at the Thai Grand Prix, delivering drama, dominance, and unexpected performances right from the first race of the year.
Marc Marquez proved once again why he’s one of the greatest riders of all time, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing. After leading early, he was forced to give up the top spot on Lap 8 due to front tire pressure issues, momentarily putting his victory in doubt. But in classic Marquez fashion, he bided his time, reclaimed the lead with three laps to go, and then streaked away by over two seconds, leaving no question about his strength on the Ducati. With Alex Marquez securing P2, the Marquez brothers locked out a historic 1-2 finish, sending a loud warning to their championship rivals.
Meanwhile, Ai Ogura delivered a statement-making debut, finishing P4 in the Sprint Race and P5 in the Main Race. While he didn’t quite reach the podium, his impressive pace and racecraft proved he belongs at the front of the MotoGP grid. Is this the beginning of an A.I. era in MotoGP?
For Pecco Bagnaia, the weekend was a humbling experience. Despite securing two P3 finishes in both the Sprint and Main Race, Pecco struggled to match the relentless pace of the Marquez brothers. Tire degradation issues once again plagued him, a worrying sign as the season progresses. With Argentina and COTA up next—two of Marc’s strongest tracks—does Pecco have an answer before the championship momentum shifts completely away from him?
Now, all eyes turn to COTA, a Marquez fortress where he has been nearly unbeatable in the past. Can Pecco, Martin, or even Ogura disrupt his dominance, or is Ducati’s latest weapon about to make Marc even more untouchable?
