The Thailand Grand Prix in Buriram marks the start of the new season for the motorcycle premier class this weekend. This also brings Thailand MotoGP betting into focus.
Who will win the Thailand Grand Prix in Buriram? Winning tips and predictions and the best bets for the Thailand MotoGP on Sunday.
Thailand MotoGP Winner Tip: Who will win the race on Sunday?
Who will win the season opener in the premier class of motorcycle racing? This is a question that is difficult for experts to answer in advance.
Many different names come up in the MotoGP Thailand winner prediction, as a lot has happened during the winter break.
Six-time champion Marc Marquez is now the teammate of two-time title holder Francesco Bagnaia at Ducati Lenovo – where eight world championship titles are competing for supremacy in one team. And youngster Pedro Acosta has switched to the Red Bull KTM factory team.
Who will win the Thailand MotoGP?
Marc Marquez is considered the biggest Thailand Moto GP winner tip among experts. The Spaniard showed himself to be in excellent form on his new machine during the test drives. But will it work so perfectly for him that he can win at the season opener? The betting providers with a German license certainly think so.
His teammate, Francesco Bagnaia, on the other hand, has been familiar with his work equipment for years. The Italian finished second in the World Championship last season and won the Thailand Grand Prix at the Chang International Circuit near Buriram last year.
In the Thailand MotoGP betting, Bagnaia is therefore the biggest contender for Marquez to win the season opener.
Who could be a threat to the Ducati duo?
After the winter test drives and the first training sessions in Thailand, Alex Marquez (Ducati Gresini) is also considered a favorite for Sunday’s season opener, as is the fast youngster Pedro Acosta on his new KTM.
The Italian Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha) and Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) are still seen as promising outsiders in the MotoGP betting odds for the Thailand Grand Prix.
One big name is missing from the Thailand MotoGP winner prediction: Jorge Martin!
The reigning world champion crashed several times during the winter tests – the first crash injured his right hand, the second crash just before the season opener injured his left hand. He is out for the opening race in Buriram. For the first time since 1984, the defending champion will not be competing in the season opener.
Thailand MotoGP betting tip: Who will finish in the top 3?
An interesting option for MotoGP betting tip is: Who will finish in the top 3?
Especially in the premier class of motorcycle racing, with its thrilling overtaking maneuvers, a lot can happen at any time – and the favorites don’t always win. That’s why this is also a good hedge for the favorites when betting on the Thailand MotoGP for Sunday’s race.
In the betting odds and predictions for the top three, that is, for the podium, the drivers who are also considered favorites for the race victory are most likely to be considered.
This means that Marc Marquez, Francesco Bagnaia, Pedro Acosta and Alex Marquez are the first contenders for the Thailand MotoGP betting odds for “Who will finish in the top 3”.
However, some of the co-favorites are also considered to have a good chance of a place on the podium. The Italian trio of Fabio Quartararo, Fabio Di Giannantonio and Marco Bezzecchi could be mentioned here, for example. But Pedro Acosta is also considered capable of a place in the top 3.
Who will set the fastest lap?
The Thailand MotoGP winner betting on the fastest lap is of course a big risk. Especially because it always depends on how the race goes.
Who could set the fastest lap in the 2025 season opener? The Ducati duo of Francesco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez are likely to be the hot tip for the Thailand MotoGP.
But Marco Bezzecchi could also be a contender for the MotoGP Thailand fastest lap if he is as fast at the season opener in Thailand as he was in the test drives. The same applies to Pedro Acosta on his new KTM.
Or will Alex Marquez set the fastest race lap at the Buriram Circuit?
