MotoGP Aragon GP: Marquez takes dominant sprint win, disaster for Bagnaia

MotorLand delivers a first ever sprint win for Marquez while a disastrous outing for world champion Bagnaia sees Martin rise to the peak of the world championship

Marc Marquez broke his 1000-day victory drought with top spot in Saturday's sprint race at the Aragon Grand Prix. The 31-year-old Catalan, who had topped every single session at MotoLand, controlled the race from the opening corners to convert pole position into a dominant 2.9s win. It was the former Honda rider's first chequered flag in more than 1000 days, stretching back to Misano in 2021, and first-ever in the new sprint format.

Aprilia's Aleix Espargaro was a victim of the slick grid tarmac and his poor launch was compounded further as he fell into Turn 1 after touching the rear wheel of Fabio Di Giannantonio . Other fallers were Honda's principal hope, LCR rider Johann Zarco, and Pramac's Franco Morbidelli.
