There is everything to play for in the World Championship after a thrilling Thailand GP at a wet Buriram. Miguel Oliveira of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing was crowned the winner.
A first-ever premier class pole and an All Time Lap Record for the VR46 rider. The Mooney VR46 Racing Team rider set a 1:29.671 with the chequered flag out to edge Prima Pramac Racing's Jorge Martin by just 0.021 seconds in Q2, while Francesco Bagnaia of Ducati Lenovo Team gave his title hopes a boost by also getting himself onto the front row. World Championship leader Fabio Quartararo of Yamaha Moto GP qualified fourth, but fellow title contender Aleix Espargaro of Aprilia Racing could not escape Q1.
The Red Bull Ring has never been a favoured stomping ground for Yamaha but Quartararo is feeling good coming to Austria. Before the rain fell in last year's Austrian GP, the Frenchman was battling at the front with the Ducatis and Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team), so it's not necessarily a bad circuit for Yamaha.
