Fastest race lap: Marco Bezzecchi 1m 30.896s (2023)
Francesco Bagnaia claims pole position for the 2024 Thai MotoGP with a new Buriram lap record as title rival Jorge Martin and practice pace setter Marc Marquez both crash in Qualifying.
Martin clung to a front-row place behind Enea Bastianini, with Marquez in fifth between Marco Bezzecchi and an excellent effort from Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo.
Due to the added heat and stress placed on the tyres, Buriram is among the venues where Michelin selects its stiffer construction rears.
Miguel Oliveira continues to be sidelined by fractures to his right wrist in Mandalika and is replaced at Trackhouse by Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori.
The Buriram Sprint race starts at 3pm local time.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
