Marc Marquez delivered a standout performance at the Aragon MotoGP, securing a commanding victory and extending his lead in the 2025 MotoGP World Championship. Riding for Ducati Lenovo, Marquez topped every session he was eligible to participate in during the weekend at MotorLand Aragon, marking his first such achievement since the Sachsenring in 2015. The race, held as the eighth round of a 22-race season, saw Marquez finish ahead of his younger brother Alex Marquez, who took second place, while Francesco Bagnaia rounded out the podium in third. Marquez’s win added 25 points to his tally, increasing his championship lead to 93 points over Bagnaia, with a total of 196 points after eight rounds. The race followed a sprint event where Marquez also excelled, finishing 0.8 seconds ahead of Alex after just one lap. Bagnaia, who made adjustments to his Ducati setup after a challenging sprint, showed improved confidence but couldn’t close the gap. The event drew a capacity crowd of 129,500 spectators at the 5.077-kilometer circuit, which features 17 turns, including 10 left and 7 right. The victory marked Marquez’s second consecutive win at Aragon, reinforcing his strong form with a pole position, sprint win, and grand prix triumph, mirroring his success from 2024 on a Gresini-run Ducati. The weekend’s results have solidified Marquez’s position as the championship leader, with the next round scheduled for June 6-8 at the same venue for an in-season test.
