Marc Marquez ended up winning today's race passing Dovizioso on the very last curve of the Thailand Grand Prix.
The race started with Marc on the Pole, followed by Rosi and Dovi as second and third positions. You can take a look turn Marc did yesterday which gave him today's pole position on the race
He took the first position and was leading the race in the first turns just before Valentino ended up passing him in the fifth lab to lead the race himself. It was nice to see Valentino leading after so many races not having good results. Dovizioso also passed Marc who had Crutchlow and Maverick just behind him.
The race started getting slower and drivers standing behind the top five were reducing the distance to get closer to the leading group.
The at lab 11 Dovi and Marc passed Rosi and a new race started with Dovi leading for many labs and Marc trying to figure out how to pass him.
Meanwhile, Viñales and Pedrosa were pushing hard to reach the Crutchlow and try to enter the podium positions.
Just at the last laps of the race, Pedrosa ended on the ground while he was in the fifth position following Maverick after they both passed Crutchlow and where just behind Rossi. At the same time, the battle for the first position between Marc and Dovi was getting harder, as both pilots were passing one another the same way they did in the previous race.
Finally, Marc was able to pass Dovi and was trying to enter the last lab leading the race but Dovi managed to pass him just when the last lab started after crossing the finish line. Maverick managed to pass Rossi and was pushing hard behind Marc.
Marc kept his bike very very close to Dovi for the whole lab and just at the very last turn managed to pass him to cross the finish line in the first position, followed by Dovi and Maverick.
Although it was a tough win, you could feel Mark was in control during all the race, leading initially and studying how to pass Dovi during the labs he was behind him.
Now, Mark just needs to finish ahead of Dovi in Japan Grand Prix to conquer his fifth world championship.
Here are the race final results.
