It was a strong demand from manufacturers involved in MotoGP and their motivation was economic. South East Asia is indeed a very strategic market for those selling motorized two-wheelers. Furthermore, the popularity of Grands Prix in this country should come to light and will undoubtedly be impressive. Welcome to the first Thailand Grand Prix Of the history. But to enjoy the show, you'll have to get up early...
To be honest, it will be the first morning wake-up call in the month of October which announces four meetings at different times because they are on the other side of the world. Thailand opens this ball on a Buriram route which has pushed the calendar to nineteen events.
In terms of issues, we expect to see a Marc Marquez further mark out his march towards a seventh absolute title, even if Andrea Dovizioso will make sure to keep his hopes alive as long as possible...
Keep the dream alive!🏆
