In light of rival Marc Marquez’s huge FP1 fall and subsequent reaction to it, Andrea Dovizioso has explained his thoughts on how riders normally respond to sustaining injury, believing they fall into two categories.

Danilo Petrucci feels initial progress has been found on the opening day at the Thailand MotoGP as he bids to return to front-running form.

Maverick Vinales believes the Thailand MotoGP circuit characteristics are aiding Yamaha’s weaknesses in top speed but concedes it remains a point where he will struggle against rival manufacturers.

Andrea Dovizioso says the gap to Marc Marquez since the Catalan MotoGP became too big to bridge in the riders’ championship and concedes the Repsol Honda rider’s current consistency has denied him the chance to fight back.

After a short break following the Aragon round, MotoGP begins the flyaway races in Asia starting with in Thailand where Marc Marquez has his first opportunity to seal the 2019 world title.

Returning to the podium with a runner-up finish - from tenth on the grid - last time at Aragon means Andrea Dovizioso approaches Buriram and the start of the flyaway MotoGP races with greater confidence.

Following his dominant victory at the Argon MotoGP last time out, Marc Marquez has moved to within touching distance of the 2019 riders’ world championship with five rounds to go.

Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali has hit back at Alvaro Bautista following his move to Honda and says the Italian manufacturer offered him a seven-figure two-year deal which he turned down.

Alvaro Bautista says feeling “like an important person in this project” became a key reason behind switching to the new HRC factory World Superbike effort for 2020 after splitting with Aruba.it Racing Ducati.

According to Aleix Espargaro, Aprilia has been developing its MotoGP holeshot device 'since last year' and the system is now 'very good'.

Honda has confirmed Alvaro Bautista will join its official factory team for the 2020 World Superbike championship, having already been dropped from the factory Ducati squad after one season.

Jack Miller says he needed binoculars to see Marc Marquez after moving into second place on the opening lap of the Aragon MotoGP but was satisfied with his first podium since the Brno round.

Andrea Dovizioso feels his charge to the podium at the Aragon MotoGP was kickstarted by profiting from the opening-lap clash between Alex Rins and Franco Morbidelli as he accepts his title fight is effectively over and focuses on defending second place in the standings.

Marc Marquez accepts the next round in Thailand will act as his “first match point” to seal the 2019 MotoGP world title and despite his comfortable victory at Aragon he was surprised to be joined on the podium by two Ducati riders.
