On August 29, Marc Márquez won the 11-lap MotoGP Aragon Sprint after starting from second on the grid, beating Álex Márquez by 1.140 seconds, with Bezzecchi third. It was Marc Márquez’s 20th Sprint victory of his career, and his third consecutive year winning the Sprint at this venue.
First-corner pass and the battle for fourth
Marc Márquez passed pole-sitter Bezzecchi on the inside at Turn 1, while Álex moved up to second on the outside, and the two remained first and second to the finish. Behind them, Martín briefly passed Acosta, but a mistake on lap five saw him lose fourth again, with Acosta finishing fourth and Martín fifth.
Charges from the back and three retirements
Starting from 11th, Aldeguer passed Moreira on the final lap to take sixth. Fernández was eighth, Zarco ninth and claimed the final point. Miller was 10th as the highest-placed Yamaha rider, with Bagnaia, Rins and Razgatlıoğlu following behind him.
Marini crashed on the opening lap, Di Giannantonio retired on lap two, and Quartararo exited with engine trouble after smoke came from the bike. Nineteen riders finished this Sprint, while three retired. Sunday’s main race still sees Bezzecchi start from pole, with Marc Márquez and Álex Márquez lining up second and third respectively.
