Marc Marquez admitted he made a "huge mistake" on the opening lap of the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix that nearly cost him victory. The reigning world champion forgot to disengage the rear ride-height device before entering the first corners.
Starting from pole, Marquez had the perfect launch, but at Turn 1 he lost momentum. "I did it again, but I made a huge mistake today because I forgot the rear device," he said in parc ferme.
Because of that oversight, his Ducati was slow through the fast Turn 2 and Turn 3, allowing Aprilia duo Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martin to pass him. Marquez slipped to third before repassing Martin at Turn 15 on the same lap.

The fight was intense in the early laps. Marquez finally took the lead from Bezzecchi on lap six, overtaking him on the back straight. "From that point I just built the pace and it was a nice fight on those first laps," he explained.
Once in front, Marquez controlled the race, saving his tires and then attacking in the final 10 laps. He crossed the line 1.7 seconds ahead of Pedro Acosta on the KTM.
The win was his fourth of the season and moved him to second in the championship, now just 19 points behind leader Jorge Martin, who finished fifth. Marquez started the Aragon weekend 40 points adrift but has clawed back 21 points after winning both races at the circuit.
