The Buriram International Circuit plays host to this weekend's season-opening Thailand Grand Prix. Marc Marquez heads into the year as the reigning world champion and is the favourite for victory on Sunday after dominating last year's race. He will be joined in the factory Ducati garage by a rejuvenated Francesco Bagnaia, who appears to have left behind his 2025 struggles.
Aprilia is another strong contender this year after topping pre-season testing, with Marco Bezzecchi again leading the Noale factory's charge.
