The MotoGP paddock is already immersed in the Asian tour, a chain of four events that take place on the eastern continent. The Japanese Grand Prix kicked off five weeks of racing, with just one week off in between.
After the Motegi race, where Jack Miller won, the world championship travels to Thailand, another circuit they have not visited since 2019. The general leaders arrive very close together, although the fall of Pecco Bagnaia and Aleix Espargaró’s problem in Japan they gave some oxygen to a Fabio Quartararo who finished in a discreet eighth position.
Thus, ‘ El Diablo ‘ arrives in Buriram with an 18-point advantage over Pecco Bagnaia and 25 over Aleix Espargaró . Enea Bastianini, although she keeps her options alive, has a very difficult time getting into the fight for the title, 49 points behind Yamaha.

The Buriram circuit (Chang), venue for the 2022 MotoGP Thai GP
The Buriram track, also known as the Chang International Circuit , was added to the MotoGP calendar shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic (which put an end to the Asian tour). Only two editions were held: 2018 (inaugural) and 2019.
The circuit, designed by Hermann Tilke, is 410 kilometers from Bangkok, and has a capacity of 100,000 spectators .

How and where to watch the 2022 MotoGP Thai GP in Buriram
To watch the Thai MotoGP GP in Spain, like the rest of the world championship, the legal option is to pay DAZN , the owner of the rights, through the platform itself or with the Movistar + sports package, which offer the same service and the same images.
But if you don’t want that option, in Spain you can access the Videopass , the official MotoGP service where you can follow all the races. The price of the Videopass is €139.99 per year, although its content is in English.
Of course, we cannot stop recommending our website, Motorsport.com, as we will have several journalists on the circuit to tell you first-hand everything that happens in Thailand.
