In a scorching hot qualifying session, Jorge Martin of Ducati-Pramac secured the pole position for the MotoGP Thailand Grand Prix, setting a new track record. Martin, currently second in the championship standings, outperformed his title rival Francesco Bagnaia, who will start from the second row. With only four races left in the season, Martin trails Bagnaia by 27 points. The Spanish rider also broke the circuit record previously held by Marco Bezzecchi. Martin’s dominance in the sprint races makes him a strong contender for victory. Fabio Quartararo and Johann Zarco will start from the fourth row after posting the tenth and eleventh fastest times.
