Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia (Ducati Desmosedici GP23) will draw on his experience, while Jorge Martin (Ducati Desmosedici GP23) will set the speed.these are the two main arguments as they face a new attack this weekend in the battle for the MotoGP Thailand Grand Prix world title at Buriram’s ‘Chang International’ circuit.

When you have four Grands Prix and eight races, it seems like experience trumps speed in every sense of the word. The Italian has a 27 point advantage over the Spaniard, who leads this category.but a series of errors prevented him from remaining at the top of the table despite being the fastest.

In Indonesia, he fell due to a mistake he admitted when Jorge Martin was his coach. In the complex Australian Grand Prix he had a time difference of more than three seconds, but once again he was leading the race with a comfortable margin when poor tire choice dropped him to fifth and final place.

It is clear that we must put aside our mistakes and concentrate on the objective, for which a priori there are only four appointments left. In the future, these failures could tip the balance decisively to one side or the other. And although the goal is none other than the MotoGP world title, as a general rule no one will be fooled if everything indicates that the person with the best chance of winning is the current champion.

And that’s something Jorge Martin himself admits, or points out with some caution when he declares that “there’s always pressure on the champions.” And in this case, the champion is Bagnaia, who is more experienced in these fights but not as “cold” when pushed as Martin.

They will be the center of attention again, because there is no one else. Marco Bezzecchi (Ducati Desmosedici GP22) is 73 points away Buriram will arrive further recovered from a broken collarbone, but it seems difficult for him to intervene in the title fight unless it benefits one side or the other. That’s because some people already have concerns when deciding between Italian food and Italian cuisine. It’s Spanish…but I’ll leave it as is for now.

Another Ducati rider will arrive ‘plugged in’ to Thailand until the end of the season. Obviously that’s the Frenchman Johann Zarco (Ducati Desmosedici GP23), who may seem strange in Australia but after many years in MotoGP and many podiums, definitely before bidding farewell to the Pramac team. He achieved his first victory in the top category. At the end of the year, he will be looking for another victory to add to his sporting history in the highest category.

To them we must once again add official KTM riders Brad Binder of South Africa and Jack Miller of Australia. Like Spaniards Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Viñales from Aprilia, any of them can get on the MotoGP podium and even pick a win.

Spaniard Marc Marquez and his Honda RC 213 V have a bit of a complicated way of achieving their goals, even though it’s a circuit he really likes. Because in Buriram, he knows mathematically what it means to be crowned world champion. he accomplished it. The eight-time world champion has already warned that his teammate Joan Mir will also never “throw in the towel”, but the current situation is not the same.

French Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha YZR M 1) will also be one of the drivers to watch. He had just finished on the podium in Indonesia, but things didn’t go as planned in Australia. Therefore, the 2021 MotoGP World Champion will once again try to move closer to the “bottom” position.

Italian Fabio Di Giannantonio (Ducati Desmosedici GP22), whose bike will be taken over by Marc Márquez next year, has just finished on the podium in Australia and will be riding in Thailand, where the atmospheric forecast is again not the same. That definitely makes him optimistic. , but you need to give it time.

Further names to stand out include Portuguese Miguel Oliveira (Aprilia RS-GP), Italian Franco Morbidelli (Yamaha YZR M 1), Spaniard Alex Marquez (Ducati Desmosedici GP22) and Pol Espargaro ( Gas RC) must be remembered. 16), Augusto Fernandes (GasGas RC 16) or Raul Fernandes (Aprilia RS-GP).

Another Spaniard Alex Rins (Honda RC 213 V) had to travel from Australia to Spain for inspection He is currently recovering from fractures in his tibia and fibula, and his participation is uncertain until the last moment.
