At the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix, Marc Marquez showcased a commanding performance, taking the lead from the start and holding it to the end, while Pecco Bagnaia's race ended prematurely due to a collision with Alex Marquez.

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

Marquez dominated from start to finish, showcasing remarkable speed and ultimately securing the victory with a nearly five-second lead over Jorge Martin.

Martin widened his lead in the championship to 23 points by finishing second, following Francesco Bagnaia's crash during an incident involving Alex Marquez, who also went down in the collision.

Bagnaia was making impressive progress through the ranks, overcoming an initial setback when his rear tyre lost traction on a less clean part of the starting grid. He quickly moved up from seventh position at the outset, to sixth following Miguel Oliveira's crash, then advanced to fifth as Franco Morbidelli went off track, and finally secured fourth place after pressuring Pedro Acosta into an error at turn 16.

After several circuits, in an attempt to overtake Marques who veered off the track at the 12th bend, Bagnaia seized the opportunity to move in front as they entered the 13th corner. However, during this maneuver, Bagnaia and Marquez collided, resulting in both of them crashing.

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

The collision between the two racers elevated Pedro Acosta to third position, though he finished nearly 15 seconds after the victor.

Brad Binder secured a fourth-place finish, while Enea Bastianini climbed 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 lineup.

Fabio Quartararo experienced a crash, and Maverick Vinales likewise withdrew from the race.

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