Marquez-land Masterclass: Marc Marquez Wins in Aragon with Historic Sweep

Marc Marquez dominates every session at Aragon to take a commanding win over brother Alex and Bagnaia. Crashes for Vinales, Quartararo and Binder shake up the order.

From lights out to chequered flag, Aragon was a one-man show. Marc Marquez didn’t just win, he ruled.

The #93 rider completed a rare clean sweep, leading every session across the weekend and sealing it with a dominant race victory.

The tone was set early. Marquez launched from pole and grabbed the holeshot, clearing Turn 1 cleanly while chaos unfolded behind.

Pecco Bagnaia muscled into third in a blistering battle with Pedro Acosta as Franco Morbidelli slid to seventh.

With more fighting unfolding behind, the top two were gone by Lap 6.

Crashes started to thin the pack from Lap 9. Johann Zarco was the first to go, followed shortly by Brad Binder and Fabio Quartararo. The latter’s third consecutive DNF capped off a miserable Yamaha run in Aragon.

Maverick Viñales would join them on the sidelines on Lap 20, gifting Marco Bezzecchi, who had stormed from 20th on the grid, a remarkable eighth place by the finish.

At the front, Marc Marquez remained untouchable, clocking a 1:46.7 to set a new race lap record on Lap 22.

Alex Marquez held his own in second, eventually pulling clear of Bagnaia after a late-race push that started as far back as Lap 18.

The Italian couldn’t match the pace in the end but brought it home for a confidence rebuilding third.

Behind the podium positions, Acosta secured his best race finish of the season in 4th. Morbidelli narrowly beat rookie Fermín Aldeguer for fifth in one of the few late-race duels still on track.

Joan Mir delivered a morale-boosting top-ten for Honda, marking his first back-to-back top ten finishes in over a year and his best race finish since the Indian Grand Prix in 2023.

But the day, the weekend, and the headlines all belonged to Marc Marquez. For the first time in nearly a decade, a rider led every session – all three practices, qualifying, warm up and the race.

Aragon is his territory. And today, #93 definitely reminded everyone why.
