Marc Márquez triumphs in MotorLand Aragón and climbs into the World Championship

Marc Márquez is human. But, of course, he also seems to be touched by the gods. Those of speed, in this case. He threatened very soon to sign another ruthless victory at the MotorLand of Aragon like the one achieved in the sprint race, but his first blow to Marco Bezzecchi, who started from pole, was condemned by his own error with the starting system of his Ducati.

Far from letting himself be eaten away, he knew how to overcome and find the moment to take the lead, with a thrilling maneuver, with both bikes almost touching each other at 350 kilometers per hour, and set a very strong pace to take victory. At times, only Pedro Acosta, ultimately second, seemed capable of following him, while the Italian had to settle for third place.

«The fight with Marc was super cool, I could hear his motorcycle, and the slipstream pushed us against each other, but it was a shame to lose the place so soon to Pedro. “I would have liked to put up more of a fight,” Bezzecchi reflected. «I already said that we had to try to be aggressive, we have done it and I am very happy. The team has worked very hard, it has been a while since we were on the podium, so we have to enjoy it," Acosta explained.

«The key point was the first corner, I did it again, but I made a huge mistake, I forgot to remove the rear device. Everything got more difficult, but, from then on, I tried to build the rhythm. From the tenth lap 10 I attacked, and from then on it was about opening the gap more and managing the race," confessed Marc Márquez, who took advantage of the fifth place achieved by Jorge Martín to put himself 19 points away from San Sebastián de los Reyes, who now has 256, and rise as second in the World Championship standings.
