Marc Marquez showcased a commanding performance, leading from start to finish at the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix, while Pecco Bagnaia's race ended early due to a collision with Alex Marquez.

At the Aragon Grand Prix for MotoGP, Marc Marquez clinched his initial Grand Prix win in more than 1,000 days, achieving it in a commanding manner.

Dominating from start to finish, Marquez showcased outstanding speed and ultimately secured victory, finishing nearly five seconds ahead of Jorge Martin.

Martin increased his lead in the championship to 23 points by finishing second, following Francesco Bagnaia's exit from the race due to a collision with Alex Marquez, who also went down in the incident.

Bagnaia was making impressive progress through the pack, having initially lost traction on the less clean side of the grid. He moved up to seventh position right after the race began, climbed to sixth following Miguel Oliveira's crash, advanced to fifth as Franco Morbidelli went off track, and then secured fourth place by pressuring Pedro Acosta into an error on the 16th turn.

Several circuits were completed in pursuit of Marques after he veered off course at turn 12, providing Bagnaia with an opportunity to overtake him heading into turn 13. However, during the maneuver into turn 13, Bagnaia and Marquez collided, causing both to crash.

Following the race, Bagnaia was taken to the medical center, however, there has been no new information released regarding his status.

The collision between them elevated Pedro Acosta to third position, though he was nearly 15 seconds away from the race leader.

Brad Binder secured a fourth-place finish, with Enea Bastianini climbing to fifth from a 14th-place start. Franco Morbidelli took the sixth spot, 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 made the decision to retire as well.

After the race, inquiries were initiated concerning Fabio Di Giannantonio, Jack Miller, and Raul Fernandez regarding the pressure of their front tires.
