Marc Márquez's quest for a tenth World Championship has gotten off to a bad start. The rider from Cervera suffered a puncture and was unable to finish the first MotoGP Grand Prix of the season at the Buriram circuit in Thailand. Nothing has gone right for the reigning world champion, who has seen the Aprilias outperform the Ducatis. Before the puncture, Márquez was fighting for a podium finish, but always far behind the man who seems destined to be his new main rival: Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia RS-GP). The 27-year-old from Rimini is the man of the moment. After dominating qualifying, he won with ease, consistently riding well ahead of his rivals. A protégé of Valentino Rossi seems determined to prevent Márquez from surpassing his mentor in titles. A rivalry that never ends.
