168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez dealt a “knockout blow” to his competition, according to an awe-struck rant after the Thailand MotoGP.

The factory Ducati debutant blew away his rivals all weekend, claiming pole p🎃osition then winning the sprint and the grand prix.

Marquez shrugged off a tyre pressure worry to cruise behind his brother Alex Marque🐬z - before a perfectly-timed overtake enabled his measured victory in Buriram on Su💖nday.

Marc Marquez 'pulverised opponents' at Thai MotoGP

“The only man better than [Alex Marquez] was his brother, who was just in another league,” TNT Sports’ Neil Hodg꧙son♓ said.

“That was a Marc ♌Marquez performance. He rode aroun♈d near his brother to get his front tyre temperature up.

“We forget it’s so difficult to do that. You get all the heat off the bike a꧂nd it’s exh🌱austing. You have to deal with doing the calculation.

“That was a win with one hanཧd on his hip, in the fꦿirst race of the season.

“He has absolutely pulverised his oꦜpponents. Look at Bagnaia’s body language - he’s done.

“It’s a knockout blow in the first round.

“Yes, I know it’s a 22-round championship. I know there’s 21 rounds to go and anything can hapไpen, and we’ll have all sorts of different conditioꦛns. But what a performance!

“Pecco is walking around punch-drunk - he’s been ba𓆉t🅠tered!

“That’s before we mention anyone else because there are no other ꧂rivals, they aren’t in 🍎his league.

“Serious meetings need to happen. Riders 🌃need to look at themselves. They are 20-odd seconds behind him - and Marc was sat back! He waited to pass with two laps to g💟o, and pulled 1.1s in his first attempt to have a go!

“I’vไe never seen anything like it, it’s unbelievable. He’s on another level, it’s unbelievable what I witnessed.𒁏”

Marquez threatened the kind of performance that was delivered at Buriram last year, when he mounted a title challenge despite riding inferio🃏r machinery to eventual cꦚhampion Jorge Martin and Bagnaia.

His step up into Ducati’s factory team has given him equal machinery to Bagnaia, while Marti🌳𓃲n deals with injury and adapting to the Aprilia.

It has also threatened Bagnaia’s popular status🅷 within the Ducati camp - particularly after a glorious debut win.

Marquez leads the MotoGP championship for the first time since 2019. T♔he next round is in Argentina on March 14-16.
