Marc Marquez provides a master’s degree in Motorland

Sometimes sport is not to look at a phenomenal struggle for the honors of victory. On the occasion, sport consists in attending greatness and appreciating an athlete performing at the top of their game – and that’s exactly what we did this weekend at the Gopro Grand Prix of Aragon. Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo team), for the first time since 2015, has exceeded each weekend session of the Grand Prix to win a seventh dominant victory in Motorland. In other words: hats. On the lawn at home, the brother and the Rival of the title Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) took P2 before an improvement from Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo team) – the Italian looking a little at the champion we know and loves Sunday. As saying, the form is temporary, the class is permanent.

Extrained lights: Marc grabs the holes

Unlike the sprint, Marc Marquez has obtained a large launch and the holes is belonged to the Potter, with Alex Marquez and Bagnaia sliding in P2 and P3. Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team lost at the beginning, the Italian was hike in P7 in the first round of the front row.

The two factory racing machines Red Bull KTM of Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder escaped well, they observed Bagnaia in P3 while Acosta showed a wheel at turn 1 on Tour 2 – but the P3 found Italian in turn 2. However, at turn 12, the # 37 made a movement of movement on n ° 63 – but not for a long time! Bagnaia bit the penultimate corner to recover P3. It was a superb visualization for us, but it cost the duo of the duel, plus the binder and the Morbidelli time to Marc and Alex Marquez.

An error of the finisher firm Aldeguer podium sprint (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) meant that the Spanish recruit was 1.2 s of the fight for P3, while his teammate Alex Marquez shaded Marc Marquez. The gap oscillated around the semi-secret opening exchanges.

Podium Fight: Chase the Ducatis factory ktms

In the direction of the Tour 7 out of 23, the first five were divided by 1.4 s as factory KTMS – Acosta then Binder – take place the fastest towers of the Grand Prix. But in the next round, was it time for Marc Marquez to lower the hammer? A 1: 47,275 was set while the title race and the head of the Grand Prix extended his advance to 0.8 s. This tour was a good tenth – more a little more – faster than Alex Marquez, Bagnaia, Acosta and Binder.

Another fastest round of the GP, a 1: 47,180, saw the advantage of Marquez climbing at 1.3 s. His chief rival, Alex Marquez, was the slowest of the first five and the # 73 had trouble brewing himself. And speaking of problems, the consecutive podium finisher Johann Zarco (Castrol Honda LCR) crashed in the turn 12. An unhappy end to a great shape for the French.

The race for arrival

In the 12th round of 23, a podium fight of four became three while the promising Grand Prix of Binder ended premature at turn 2, then Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) was also crushed. El Diablo slipped out of driving at turn 1, while his Aragon problems continue.

With nine laps to do, Marc Marquez’s advance was now a little less than two seconds while Alex Marquez continued to keep Bagnaia from 0.5 seconds. Acosta had fallen 1.6 s from the podium, but the rider KTM had three seconds of fresh air behind him until the fight of Morbiki -Aldeger for P5. And what a battle it was between yellow ducatis and blue.

While continuing Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol) for P7, Aragon Pursuit of Maverick Viñales (Red Bull KTM Tech3) ended in the turn 12 in the final stages, while Marc Marquez demonstrated his domination by fixing the fastest tower of the Grand Prix. Fair play.

The late rhythm of Alex Marquez and Bagnaia also saw them enter the 1: 46, but none of them was a match for Marc Marquez in Motorland while the hero of the house becomes the first rider to direct each session of a weekend of the Grand Prix since … Marc Marquez at the 2015 German GP. Supremacy.

Alex Marquez has limited the damage and Bagnaia returned to the podium in what must be a massive injection of confidence for the double world champion MotoGP.
