Marquez Triumphs in Aragon GP Amid Drama as Bagnaia Crashes Out in Clash with Alex Marquez

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

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

Dominating the race 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 crash during a collision with Alex Marquez, who also fell during the incident.

Bagnaia skillfully maneuvered up the ranks, overcoming an initial setback due to his rear tyre losing traction on the less clean part of the starting grid. He initially found himself in seventh place at the outset, climbed to sixth following Miguel Oliveira's fall, advanced to fifth as Franco Morbidelli went off track, and reached fourth place after pressuring Pedro Acosta into an error at turn 16.

After several circuits aimed at overtaking Marques, who veered off course at the 12th turn, Bagnaia managed to move in front entering the 13th turn. However, as Bagnaia was navigating the turn, he collided with Marquez, resulting in both riders crashing.

Following the race, Bagnaia was taken to the medical facility, though there has been no official information released regarding his state.

The collision between the pair elevated Pedro Acosta to third position, though nearly 15 seconds adrift of the first-place finisher.

Brad Binder secured the fourth position, 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 withdrew from the race as well.

After the race, Fabio Di Giannantonio, Jack Miller, and Raul Fernandez were under scrutiny for the pressure levels in their front tires.
