Still, he bagged valuable points, with an exciting battle against the Desmosedici GP24 machines ahead \u2013 as tomorrow\u2019s race is the real target for the weekend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alex Marquez, on the other hand, did not fully shine in qualifying this morning (he was fifth), while he managed to put together a spectacular comeback after recovering three positions at the starts and finishing not far from the frontrunners. The crash by Acosta opened him the doors to the top five. Five, key points were secured in the battle for the top ten in the championship, with Espargaro and Bezzecchi now only six and seven points away, respectively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>4<sup>th<\/sup> &#8211; MARC MARQUEZ #93 (3<sup>rd<\/sup> in the championship standings with 351 points)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBefore the sprint race began, I was confident in my chances to battle for the podium, but I hadn\u2019t taken Enea into consideration. I managed to achieve the target of a second-row qualifying result and I also started well because I was second at turn three, but today we didn\u2019t have the pace to stay with the frontrunners. Tomorrow\u2019s realistic goal is to finish as high as today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>5<sup>th<\/sup> &#8211; ALEX MARQUEZ #73 (12<sup>th<\/sup> in the championship standings with 130 points)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt was a good Saturday and let\u2019s say so far a good weekend, too. Without slipstream it wasn\u2019t an easy job to carry out in today\u2019s race, but it went well and I\u2019m happy. Tomorrow\u2019s race is going to be a long one and we\u2019ll need to manage the tyre wear as soon as we can for the end of the race \u2013 and there are valuable points up for grabs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Team Gresini MotoGP scored points with both riders today as Marc Marquez and Alex Marquez were fourth and fifth in today\u2019s Thai Grand Prix sprint race.
