Description

The Thailand motorcycle Grand Prix is a MotoGP event starting in 2018, having signed a three-year deal to join the championship calendar. The race is to be hosted at Buriram International Circuit near the eponymous city in Buriram Province.
In March 2015, Thailand became the latest Asian country to host a world-class motorcycling event, with the Superbike World Championship held at the state-of-the-art Chang International Circuit.

Marc Marquez took victory in MotoGP's inaugural Thailand Grand Prix, passing chief rival Andrea Dovizioso on the final lap to take a step closer to the 2018 championship crown.
In a reversal of their memorable Austrian GP duel from last year, Dovizioso attempted to pass Marquez at the final corner on the last lap, after the Honda rider muscled his way by on Turn 5 at Buriram.
But the Ducati rider could not get the traction on exit, with Marquez cutting back to the inside to reach the chequered flag 0.115s clear of Dovizioso and register his seventh win of the 2018 campaign.
Vinales was not close enough to capitalise on the two leaders running wide, but still secured his first podium finish since July's German Grand Prix in third, ahead of Rossi, who picked up his best result since Brno in August.
