MotoGP Thailand Grand Prix Betting Preview and Prediction
Francesco Bagnaia – Ducati Lenovo Team
Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia has moved from heavy Championship favorite at mid-season to holding a closing 13-point gap over a charging Championship contender, despite his recent MotoGP results.
Bagnaia continues to collect podiums in 2023, scoring a second consecutive second place in Thailand – his third second-place and fourth top-two finish in the last four races. With six wins and 12 top-three finishes this season, Bagnaia will be fighting in the top three and his second consecutive win at Sepang.
Jorge Martin – Prima Primac Racing-Ducati
Prima’s Jorge Marin regained his winning form in Thailand, scoring his third race win, fourth top-two, and sixth top-five finish in the last seven races. Two consecutive and four pole positions in the previous six races have powered Martin’s late-season championship charge. Martin has four wins and 12 top-five finishes this season but is peaking at the right time to take the Championship lead.
Starting at P1 on the front row regularly gives Martin the best chance of winning in Sepang and chasing down the always impressive Bagnaia.
Marco Bezzechi – Mooney VR46 Racing Team-Ducati
Mooney Racing’s Marco Bezzechi’s championship hopes may be fading, but he returned to the top five in Thailand, his fifth top-five finish in the last six races. Bezzechi’s fourth place was at the head of the pack with a gap to the leading three, making him likely for a top-five finish at best.
Brad Binder – Red Bull KTM Factory Racing
Brad Binder showed a race-leading pace in Thailand, ultimately finishing third – his first top-three finish since Austria. Binder should score another top-five finish at Sepang.
