5:45 – Hello and welcome to our LIVE chronicle of the FP1 MotoGP in Buriram. The Moto2 fp1 has just ended, here is the ranking
MotoGP returns to the scene less than a week after the Japanese Grand Prix dominated by Jack Miller. Fabio Quartararo is still firmly in the lead in the world championship, also thanks to Bagnaia’s very heavy zero, who crashed on the last lap in an attempt to overtake the Frenchman. This weekend we run at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram, a track that has been missing from the calendar since 2019 and on that occasion it was Marc Marquez who took the victory home after a duel with Quartararo.
The Spaniard is one of the most anticipated this weekend, after he took an extraordinary pole at Motegi and also a 4th place in the race which is worth gold for the Honda rider. Marc can become the loose cannon of the season finaleentering the three-way fight between Quartararo, Bagnaia and Aleix Espargarò, who in Japan was the victim of a huge pitfall error that cost him a lot, bringing him to -25 from Fabio in the general classification.
Our LIVE report of the Buriram FP1 will start at 5:50 am, Stay Tuned!
