MOTOGP FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND 14 / OCTOBER 5-7, 2018 CHANG INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT / BURIRAM, THAILAND P90 MotoGP 1. Marc Marquez (Hon) 2. Andrea Dovizioso (Duc) 3. Maverick Vinales (Yam) 4. Valentino Rossi (Yam) 5. Johann Zarco (Yam) Moto2 1. Francesco Bagnaia (Kal) 2. Luca Marini (Kal) 3. Miguel Oliveira (KTM) 4. Brad Binder (KTM) 5. Fabio Quartararo (SU) Moto3 1. Fabio Di Giannantonio (Hon) 2. Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Hon) 3. Dennis Fogia (KTM) 4. Jorge Martin (Hon) 5. Gabriel Rodrigo (KTM) Binder (Red Bull KTM) was one early leader, but was knocked off by a headstrong Albert Are- nas (Angel Nieto KTM); Sic 58 Honda teammates Nico Antonelli and front-running Tatsuki Suzuki collided and fell; while rookie Kazuki Masaki (RBA KTM) started on the front row and was running with the leaders, only to fall after a clash with Martin in the brawl. Martin now has 26 points over Bezzecchi, 204:178, with the latter now under threat from Di Giannantonio with 175. Non- finisher Bastianini is fourth at 133; non-starter Canet next with 118. CN had trapped a nerve, bizarrely. Not even sure he could start, the last-corner tangle promoted him to fourth place and a valuable points haul. With temperatures soaring to 86° and beyond and the simple track layout keeping the field packed close—a lead group 20 strong for most of the way—there were other casualties. An un- characteristically on-form Darren Moto3 was nothing short of utter madness. Fabio Di Giannantonio (21) came out on top but it was heartbreak for Marco Bezzecchi (12) when Enea Bastianini punted him on the final corner, decimating his championship hopes.
