Marco Bezzecchi and Aprilia Racing are hat-trick heroes in MotoGP for the first time after the Italian dominates a dramatic PT Grand Prix of Thailand to back up his 2025 Portugal and Valencia victories with a Buriram beauty at the beginning of 2026.
Sprint winner Pedro Acosta finished P2 to make sure he leaves Thailand as the MotoGP World Championship leader, as Raul Fernandezbegins the year with a P3 in a Grand Prix which saw reigning world champion Marc Marquez suffer a race-ending puncture while in the podium fight.
And that means Ducati's unbelievable record-breaking podium streak of 88 in a row is over - for the first time since the 2021 British GP, no Ducati rider stood on the Sunday rostrum.
