MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
ROUND 12/SEPTEMBER 27, 2015
MOTORLAND ARAGON/ALCANIZ, SPAIN
P110
closing laps, but lost touch
when Aleix' teammate Maverick
Vinales came through to attack.
Vinales was within less than half
a second of taking tenth off the
Colombian over the line.
There was another huge
Open-bike battle for the last
points—a vindication perhaps of
the forthcoming all-Open regula-
tions of 2016. At half distance
12th to 19th places were covered
by less than two seconds, and
it stood like this: Aprilia's Stefan
Bradl, Aspar Honda's Eugene
Marc Marquez'
early crash
eliminated
all hopes for
defending his title
in 2015.

toughed it out the
weekend with a
broken thumb.
