Marc Márquez has won the Grand Prix of Thailand and thus crowned himself again MotoGP World Champion. His pursuer Andrea Dovizioso from Italy can no longer catch the 26-year-old in the remaining four races of the season. It is already the sixth World Championship title for Márquez in the highest motorcycle racing class. Since joining the Repsol Honda team in 2013, he only became world champion once when he lost to Jorge Lorenzo in 2015.
