Marc Marquez has claimed his sixth MotoGP world title after winning in Thailand.

Despite being taken to hospital after a crash in first practice last week, the 26-year-old was fit enough to secure his fourth successive title on Sunday with four races remaining.

Marquez went into the race needing to win by two points more than nearest rival Andrea Dovizioso and managed to do so as the Italian finished fourth.

The Spaniard reclaimed the lead from Fabio Quartararo on the final corner of the last lap in a thrilling finish.

Marquez’s sixth crown moved him ahead of Australian great Mick Doohan on the list of world titles.
