MotorLand Aragon is set to witness Marc Marquez's bid for a home double victory. After dominating Saturday's Sprint, all eyes are on the main race on Sunday afternoon. Can the reigning champion repeat his stunning performance?
Starting from pole, Marco Bezzecchi poses the biggest threat to Marquez. The Aprilia rider has been impressive all weekend, including topping this morning's warm-up by over 0.4 seconds. However, he must watch out for the start, which proved crucial in yesterday's Sprint.
Marquez was only third in warm-up, but he showed his ruthlessness in the race. In the Sprint, he made a bold move at Turn 1 to pass Bezzecchi, a move he admitted was necessary to win the 11-lap race. Alex Marquez, starting second, is also ready to fight, having learned a lot from his brother.
On the other side, championship leader Jorge Martin struggled with front grip in the Sprint, finishing fifth. However, he is confident of being more competitive in the 22-lap race with the medium rear tyre. Martin still holds a 29-point lead over Bezzecchi and is guaranteed to remain top of the standings after Misano.
Pedro Acosta is also a contender. Despite losing a seat wing on the grid, he managed to pass Martin and close in on Bezzecchi. Meanwhile, returning riders Johann Zarco and Fermin Aldeguer scored points in the Sprint. Zarco will serve a double long lap penalty from the Catalunya incident, which he joked might help him today.
Off track, MotoGP unveiled the Adelaide circuit that will replace Phillip Island as the Australian GP venue next year. The 4.1km track features multiple chicanes and promises a new challenge.
The main Aragon GP race is scheduled for 14:00 local time. All eyes are on Marquez: can he secure a consecutive win and strengthen his position at the top of the championship?
