Morbidelli provides chaos: punishment before the Thailand GP!

The MotoGP season 2025 has a dramatic start in Thailand, which led to problems for some drivers during the first training sessions. Franco Morbidelli, who drives for the VR46 team, has felt considerable consequences through a questionable blockade by Francesco "Pecco" Bagnaia during the decisive training. Due to this incident, Morbidelli has to return three places in the starting line -up at the Grand Prix on Sunday after he has prevented the two -time world champion from driving his quick round. Bagnaia thus missed the direct move into second qualifying and now has to fight for his place at 4:50 a.m. href = "https://www.laola1.at/de/motorsport/motorrad/news/motogp-startplatz-strafe-fuer-fuer-vr46-pilot-in-thailand/"> laola1.at reported

also under pressure is MotoGP debutant Somkiat Chantra, who also dealt with a punishment. He disturbed Alex Marquez in the first curve and is also downgraded three places in the starting line -up. In the meantime, Alex Marquez shows impressive performances and, with his fastest round, secures the best time in training, followed by his brother Marc Marquez and Pedro Acosta. The training was characterized by extreme weather conditions, the temperatures achieved remarkable 36 degrees Celsius, and 55 degrees were even measured on the route. In contrast to Bagnaia and Morbidelli, other drivers like Joan Mir, who came sixth as the best Honda driver, cope well with the conditions. Overall, the Thailand GP promises to be exciting, especially since the first qualification rounds have some surprises ready, such as Motorsport-Magazin.com

The challenges for Bagnaia are clear: Not only did he have to hand in the best time in training, but is also forced to prevail against strong competition in the first qualifying. The pressure on Morbidelli, which has to suffer from the shadow of his own blockade, is also high, as a position analysis by the stewards can be expected. This start of the season already promises plenty of tension and drama for MotoGP fans!
