and Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing). Quiles is miles in front in the points, 256 to Carpe's 159. Al - mansa is third on 154. Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup Andrea Iannone (Niti Racing) made history at MotorLand Aragon, becoming the first rider to sweep both races in the FIM Harley- Davidson Bagger World Cup with a pair of victories at the penultimate round of the 2026 season. Iannone battled teammate and polesitter Oscar Gutierrez in Saturday's eight-lap opener, the Italian ultimately prevailing by 0.246 of a second after the two traded the lead and fought throughout the race. Iannone also set the fastest lap on the final lap, while Archie McDonald (Joe Rascal Racing) completed the po - dium. Championship leader Eric Granado's race ended in a crash, handing McDonald an opportu- nity to take control of the points standings. Iannone was again the rider to beat in Sunday's second race, leading from start to finish to win by 0.623 of a second over Gra- nado, who bounced back from his Saturday crash. McDonald again finished third, with Gutier- rez crashing on lap two. The double victory gave Ian- none the maximum 50 points and moved him back into champion- ship contention ahead of the season finale. McDonald leaves Aragon leading the standings on 174 points, seven ahead of Gra- nado, with Gutierrez third on 148. Iannone is fourth, just one point further back, leaving four riders still in mathematical contention for the inaugural title. CN MotoGP Sprint (Top 10) 1. Marc Marquez (Duc) 19:37.995 2.
