Marc Márquez unstoppable in MotorLand

Marc Márquez confirmed his expected dominance at Aragón, repeating his Saturday performance to win the main race this Sunday (30). The Spaniard made short work of Marco Bezzecchi in the opening laps, withstood pressure from Pedro Acosta, and once again turned MotorLand into a sea of ​​fans, celebrating the victory in front of a crowd of over 50,000.

Acosta put in a very strong ride to secure second place for KTM, while Bezzecchi settled for third to round out the podium for Aprilia. Álex Márquez and Jorge Martín completed the top five in Spain.

Diogo Moreira repeated the strong form he had shown all weekend on the LCR Honda; capitalizing on crashes involving Francesco Bagnaia and Franco Morbidelli, he crossed the finish line in ninth to secure another top-10 finish and more points in the Riders' Championship.

The top 10 for the MotoGP Aragon GP was as follows: Marc Márquez, Pedro Acosta, Marco Bezzecchi, Álex Márquez, Jorge Martín, Fermín Aldeguer, Fabio Di Giannantonio, Enea Bastianini, Diogo Moreira, and Brad Binder.

He beat fellow Spaniard Pedro Acosta and Italian Marco Bezzecchi, moving up to second place in the 2026 MotoGP standings—just 19 points behind Spaniard Jorge Martín, who managed only fifth place.

Marco Bezzecchi got a good start from pole position, but Marc Márquez repeated his move from the previous day to take the lead at the first corner. However, Bezzecchi fought back and reclaimed the position, while Álex Márquez found himself sandwiched between two riders, with Jorge Martín coming out on top. Shortly after, Martín overtook Marc as well.

Marc lunged into the chicane, catching Martín off guard and giving him a slight bump that cost him the position, bringing Pedro Acosta into the mix. Still on the first lap, Álex Márquez reclaimed fifth place from Raúl Fernández, and on the second lap, he overtook Martín to take fourth.

Bezzecchi opened up a gap of nearly a second over Marc, who gradually began to close the distance until, on the sixth lap, he lunged into the chicane; they went side-by-side down the straight, with Marc taking the position on the outside while Acosta seized the opportunity to overtake the Italian as well.

Behind them, several riders dropped out in quick succession: first Pecco Bagnaia crashed, then Raúl Fernández pitted with a mechanical issue, and within a single lap, Franco Morbidelli crashed out.

Marc Márquez began to set the pace—a pace Acosta seemed able to match without much difficulty—while Bezzecchi struggled and Álex closed in. This left Martín completely isolated, five seconds behind Fermín Aldeguer, who was beginning to pull away from Fabio Di Giannantonio.

Acosta kept pace with Márquez until the nine-time champion dropped his lap times into the 1:46 range for several consecutive laps, opening up a lead of over a second with eight laps remaining. The rider from Murcia then turned his attention to Bezzecchi, who was less than a second behind and had already definitively left Álex in his wake.

After opening up a one-and-a-half-second lead, Marc Márquez eased off and settled into a comfortable pace to maintain the gap and secure an undisputed victory, while Pedro Acosta held a solid lead over Marco Bezzecchi to clinch an excellent second place.

Álex Márquez and Jorge Martín rounded out the top five, with Fermín Aldeguer finishing sixth after overtaking Fabio Di Giannantonio. Enea Bastianini snatched eighth place from Diogo Moreira on the final lap. Brad Binder completed the top ten, with Joan Mir and Álex Rins finishing in the points.

Pedro Acosta seized the opportunity during the battle to overtake the Italian rider as well, moving up to second place. Bezzecchi finished the race in third. With this result, Marc has now taken over second place in the championship standings.

Fermín Aldeguer secured P6 for Gresini, keeping VR46's Fabio Di Giannantonio behind him during the battle. The Spaniard was returning to racing after suffering back injuries at Assen.

Further back, Raúl Fernández retired due to a technical issue. The result deals another blow to his championship hopes, coming on a weekend when his Trackhouse teammate, Ai Ogura, was sidelined by injury.

Francesco Bagnaia also failed to finish the race. The Ducati rider crashed early in the GP while running in P7. Shortly after, his compatriot Franco Morbidelli also crashed out.

Toprak Razgatlıoğlu crashed with three laps remaining while running in P15. As a result, Johann Zarco gained a position to finish P15, scoring a point on his return weekend after serving the two long-lap penalties imposed in Catalonia.

Marc Márquez won the 23-lap race for Ducati Lenovo. Acosta finished P2, 1.754s behind the winner, while Bezzecchi rounded out the podium, 3.629s back.

Álex Márquez finished P4, followed by Martín in P5. Aldeguer took P6, ahead of Di Giannantonio in P7. Enea Bastianini finished P8, while Diogo Moreira was P9 and Brad Binder completed the top 10.

Jack Miller finished P11, Joan Mir P12, Álex Rins P13, Luca Marini P14, and Zarco P15. Pol Espargaró finished P16, Lorenzo Savadori P17, and Fabio Quartararo P18.

Diogo Moreira rode a strong race and battled Enea Bastianini in the closing laps; he managed to hold off the Tech3 rider for much of the time but ultimately couldn't match the Italian's pace, losing eighth place to him.
