MotoGP 2026 returns: How to watch the Thailand GP this weekend

The new MotoGP season is upon us: this week, the 2026 MotoGP season begins in Thailand, with the first Grand Prix taking place between February 27 and March 1: there will be sprint race on Saturday and finally the Grand Prix on Sunday, ending the first of 22 race weekends until November, with one goal in mind of almost everyone: stop Marc Márquez's domination after he swept last year with Ducati Lenovo, taking the crown with five races still to go.

In the pre-season tests, his brother Álex Márquez has already impressed with Gresini Racing, but it's Marco Bezzecchi the one expected to stand as main contender for Marc this year, at least in Buriram, after setting a new lap record at the Thai circuit.
