2024 Thailand MotoGP

There was much ado about nothing at Buriram on Saturday. Jorge Martin won the sprint race with a monumental pass on title-rival Pecco Bagnaia, which took him wide exiting Turn 7 and into a green zone.

Martin laid the foundations for the move through the Turn 4 and 5 left-handers, where he got right on Bagnaia’s tail, then he took a wide exit from the next left to give him the inside line at 7.

Moments later he received a track limits warning from Race Direction, because this was his second trespass of the race. In sprints you’re allowed two green infringements – your third gets you a long-lap penalty. In full-length grand prix races it’s four and five.
