ROUND 18 / OCTOBER 25-27, 2024
CHANG INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT / BURIRAM, THAILAND
ROAD RACE I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
P68
23 ENEA BASTIANINI
1ST/14TH MOTOGP
"We were in the position to do well,
unfortunately, I was pushed wide at
turn one and lost a lot of ground on
the straight—plus the visibility was
very low in the early stages," Bas-
tianini said. "Then, lap after lap, I
managed to find the right feeling and
made up some places, but I was very
at the limit and ended up tucking the
front at turn eight. It's a pity, I didn't
expect that to happen. Luckily, I was
able to re-join and score a couple of
points."
89 JORGE MARTIN
2ND/2ND MOTOGP
"I felt really good in the warmup and
was ready for the race," Martin said.
"I got off to a really good start, but
at some point, I felt the front of my
bike closing up. I managed to save
it, although I lost two positions. After
that, I did my best to maintain the gap
with the riders behind, taking many
risks. I'm happy with this second
place, even if I lost five points in the
championship, but I'm already the
best independent rider, for the second
year in a row."
