Marc Marquez Triumphs in MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix as Pecco Bagnaia’s Championship Hopes Take a Hit Following Crash
Marc Marquez showcased a commanding performance, taking the lead from start to finish at the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix, while Pecco Bagnaia's race ended in a crash involving Alex Marquez.
At the Aragon Grand Prix, Marc Marquez celebrated his first Grand Prix win in more than 1,000 days, achieving the victory with remarkable dominance.
Dominating from start to finish, Marquez showcased remarkable speed and ultimately secured victory, finishing nearly five seconds ahead of Jorge Martin.
Martin widened his lead in the championship to 23 points by finishing second, following Francesco Bagnaia's crash during a collision with Alex Marquez, who also fell in the incident.
Bagnaia was making rapid progress up the ranks, having initially lost ground due to his rear tyre slipping on the less clean part of the starting grid. He found himself in seventh position at the outset, climbed to sixth following Miguel Oliveira's fall, advanced to fifth as Franco Morbidelli went off track, and then moved into fourth place after pressuring Pedro Acosta into an error at turn 16.
Several circuits were completed in pursuit of Marques, who veered off course at the 12th turn, providing Bagnaia the opportunity to overtake him entering the 13th turn. However, when Bagnaia was maneuvering through turn 13, he collided with Marquez, causing both to crash.
Following the race, Bagnaia was transported to the medical facility, though there has been no further information released regarding his status.
The collision between the pair elevated Pedro Acosta to a third-place finish, though he was nearly 15 seconds adrift of the race leader.
Brad Binder secured the fourth spot, while Enea Bastianini climbed to fifth place from a 14th-place start. Franco Morbidelli finished in sixth, followed by Fabio Di Giannantonio, Marco Bezzecchi, Alex Rins, and Jack Miller, who completed the top 10.
Fabio Quartararo experienced a crash, and Maverick Vinales also withdrew from the race.
Following the race, probes were initiated targeting Fabio Di Giannantonio, Jack Miller, and Raul Fernandez concerning the pressure of their front tyres.
