Two-time consecutive Moto GP world champion Francesco Banjaya triumphed at the Thai Grand Prix at the Chang circuit.
The driver of the factory Ducati had pole position, but had a worse start, he was overtaken by the championship leader Jorge Martin from Pramak, the third-placed Mark Marquez from Gresini was also breathing down his neck, and then…
The wet track (it didn’t rain during the race) did its job, the leader Martin slipped and lost two places, soon Marquez also fell (subsequently he returned to the race and finished twelfth), so Banjaja dominated the track and dominantly came to victory, ninth in the season (not counting the sprint races that are run on Saturdays), another 25 points, but he is still behind the leader Martin, winner of 20 points, who eventually crossed the finish line in second place.
Pedro Acosta (GASGAS) overtook KTM riders Binder and Miller with several overtaking at the finish line, finished on the lowest step of the podium and grabbed 16 points.
Fabio Di Đanantonio (VR46) overtook the KTM team and made his way to fourth place.
Martin leads two race weekends before the end (two sprint races and two grand prix) with 453 points, Banjaya has 436, Mark Marquez 356, Enea Bastianini 345, Brad Binder 203…
The next weekend is in Malaysia (November 1-3) at the Sepang track, the end of the championship is in Valencia (November 15-17) at the Riccardo Tormo track.
