Bagnaia wins
MotoGP: Grand Prix of Thailand – LIVE from 9am
KTM hopeful Pedro Acosta rode to third place in Sunday's exciting MotoGP race on a wet track in Thailand. The Spaniard was only beaten in Buri Ram by Italian Francesco Bagnaia and Spaniard Jorge Martin, both on Ducati, who continue to lead the motorcycle world championship.
"Many thanks to the team for an excellent job, also to all the people in Mattighofen. I think we are on the right track," said Acosta.
Bagnaia closes the gap in the World Championship standings
Bagnaia reduced the gap in the overall standings to Martin to 17 points. The now nine-time winner of the season explained that he was not happy after the warm-up, but that the team had understood what needed to be done and that the water on the track had helped him. "That was a tough, difficult race. I wanted to catch Pecco, but then I realized it would be second place. I'm happy with two second places in Thailand," said Martin, who also benefited from Marc Marquez's crash.
Acosta explained in the interview that he had difficulties getting the tires up to temperature. "In turn three at the start of the race, I went wide once because the brakes were still a bit too cold. But we have to be satisfied," he said. KTM had two more riders in the top six, with Australian Jack Miller finishing fifth and South African Brad Binder sixth. The Moto GP World Championship had already been decided, with Ducati winning the Manufacturers' World Championship. The Moto2 World Championship title went to Japan's Ai Ogura.
