territory in years gone by. And
the riders sitting first and sec-
ond in the championship made
short
work of this weekend,
with Marc producing his most
dominant weekend to date in
factory red.
After the relative struggles of
Jerez and Silverstone over the
past months, there was very little
to give his rivals comfort here.
Yes, his pole time was only two-
tenths of a second faster than
second (last year it was eight-
tenths), and Alex Marquez had
the temerity to lead the opening
five laps of the Sprint. Yet, Marc
topped every practice, qualifying
and warm-up session, won the
Sprint at a canter and led every
lap of Sunday's feature race.
His victory here one year ago
was the first in 1043 days, a
Morbidelli had little to offer in
that fight either, with the rookie
securing third with a move on
lap nine.
Fabio Di Giannantonio was
sixth, Vinales seventh and
Marco Bezzecchi an impressive
eighth, having made up 12 posi
-
tions from 20th on the grid.
SUNDAY
MOTOGP RACE
In truth, this result was in the
offing from the eve of the GP.
Aragon has been Marc Marquez
A turn-one lunge on the sixth
lap saw the lead change hands.
From there, Marc coasted to a
two-second triumph with the
minimum of fuss.
Francesco Bagnaia endured
a torrid Sprint, suffering from
a total lack of front-end feel,
which dropped him to 12th. In
his absence, Morbidelli, Acosta
and Fermin Aldeguer vied for
the final podium spot, with the
KTM man accepting he had little
for the Ducati threat on lap four
when Aldeguer passed through.
53 DENIZ ONCU
1ST MOTO2
"This is how we do it!" said Moto2
winner Deniz Oncu after his dramatic
last-turn win. "A very nice race. I tried
to manage the tires but in the last
eight laps, I knew I needed to push,"
Oncu said. "I also knew I was stron-
ger in the final corner…but I'd finished
the grip. I had to try. When the doors
were closed, I thought, 'What do I
have to lose? I'm second, just push
and try the outside.'"
MYOWNRACE
Unlike his Sprint race
start, Marc got the jump
in the main Sunday GP
and was never headed.
