2025 Aragon MotoGP News and Results

Sunday MotoGP Race

Sometimes, sport isn’t about watching a phenomenal fight for victory honours. Sometimes, sport is also about witnessing greatness and enjoying an athlete performing at the very top of their game – and that’s exactly what we’ve done this weekend at the GoPro Grand Prix of Aragon. Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team), for the first time since 2015, topped every session in a Grand Prix weekend to clinch a dominant seventh victory at MotorLand. Simply put: chapeaux. On home turf, brother and title rival Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) took P2 ahead of an improving Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) – the Italian looking somewhat back to the Champion we know and love on Sunday. As the saying goes, form is temporary, class is permanent.

And this is MotoGP… so don’t worry, there was some serious elbows-out action through the field!

Unlike the Sprint, Marc Marquez got a great launch and the holeshot belonged to the polesitter, with Alex Marquez and Bagnaia slotting into P2 and P3. Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) lost out at the start, the Italian was shuffled down to P7 on Lap 1 from the front row.

The two Red Bull KTM Factory Racing machines of Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder got away well though, they were shadowing Bagnaia in P3 as Acosta showed a wheel at Turn 1 on Lap 2 – but the Italian regained P3 at Turn 2. However, at Turn 12, the #37 did make a move stick on the #63 – but not for long! Bagnaia bit back at the penultimate corner to reclaim P3. This was great viewing for us, but it was costing the duelling duo, plus Binder and Morbidelli time to Marc and Alex Marquez.

A mistake from Sprint podium finisher Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) meant the Spanish rookie was 1.2s behind the fight for P3, as his teammate Alex Marquez shadowed Marc Marquez. The gap was hovering around the half-second mark in the opening exchanges.

Heading onto Lap 7 of 23, the top five were split by 1.4s as both factory KTMs – Acosta and then Binder – set fastest laps of the Grand Prix. But on the next lap, was it time for Marc Marquez to put the hammer down? A 1:47.275 was set as the title race and Grand Prix leader stretched his lead to 0.8s. That lap was a good two tenths – plus a bit more – quicker than Alex Marquez, Bagnaia, Acosta and Binder.

Another fastest lap of the GP, a 1:47.180, saw Marquez’s advantage climb to 1.3s. His chief title rival, Alex Marquez, was the slowest of the top five and the #73 had trouble brewing. And speaking of trouble, back-to-back podium finisher Johann Zarco (CASTROL Honda LCR) crashed out at Turn 12. An unfortunate end to a great run of form for the Frenchman.

On Lap 12 of 23, a podium fight of four became three as Binder’s promising Grand Prix came to a premature end at Turn 2, and then Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) crashed out too. El Diablo slipped out of contention at Turn 1, as his Aragon woes continue.

With nine laps to go, Marc Marquez’s lead was now just under two seconds as Alex Marquez continued to keep Bagnaia at bay by 0.5s. Acosta had dropped to 1.6s off the podium, but the KTM rider had three seconds of fresh air behind him to the Morbidelli-Aldeguer fight for P5. And what a battle it was between the yellow and blue Ducatis.

While chasing Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol) for P7, Maverick Viñales’ (Red Bull KTM Tech3) Aragon pursuit ended at Turn 12 in the closing stages, as Marc Marquez demonstrated his dominance by setting the fastest lap of the Grand Prix. Fair play.

Alex Marquez and Bagnaia’s late pace also saw them get into the 1:46s, but neither of them was a match for Marc Marquez at MotorLand as the home hero becomes the first rider to lead every session of a Grand Prix weekend since… Marc Marquez at the 2015 German GP. Supremacy.

Alex Marquez limited the damage and Bagnaia returned to the podium in what must be a massive injection of confidence for the double MotoGP World Champion.

Acosta couldn’t quite keep tabs on the podium chase but a P4 was a job well done for the double World Champion, as Morbidelli eventually beat Aldeguer in a feisty fight for P5. P7 went the way of Mir as the 2020 World Champion picks up his best result since the 2023 Indian GP, as Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) produced another great comeback to collect a P8 from P20 on the grid.

Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) was ninth ahead of Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse MotoGP Team), the Spaniard rounded out the top 10. Alex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP), Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3), Yamaha Factory Racing wildcard Augusto Fernandez, Jack Miller and the Australian’s Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP teammate Miguel Oliveira were the final point scorers in Aragon.

Well, we could have expected it, but delivering it is different. The master of MotorLand enjoys a perfect weekend on home soil, as Marc Marquez now heads to Mugello with a 32-point Championship lead over Alex Marquez. Will the pendulum swing the other way in Italy? Can Bagnaia hit back? Only time will tell.

Moto2 Race

Three thousandths of a second. That’s all that separated winner Deniz Öncü (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and second place Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) in an all-time classic Moto2 thriller at the GoPro Grand Prix of Aragon – the closest finish in the new era of Moto2. Third place went the way of Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego), the Belgian claiming his third podium in the last four races.

From a historic pole, Moreira pocketed the holeshot but at Turn 7, Öncü led. The Turk was on a march as we then witnessed double CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team drama. Daniel Holgado, out of control in the downhill braking zone at Turn 12, wiped out luckless teammate David Alonso as both crashed out on Lap 1.

Back at the front, Baltus was our new race leader on Lap 2. After a qualifying disaster, Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) was up to P14 at the same stage, one place ahead of 2024 Aragon GP winner Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team), as Aron Canet (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) carved his way past Moreira on Lap 3 to demote the polesitter to P4. And on Lap 6, the top four of Baltus, Öncü, Canet and Moreira were locked together, with Alonso Lopez (Beta Tools SpeedRS Team) the chief chaser in P5, 1.4s adrift.

On Gonzalez watch, Lap 11 saw the #18 sit 0.7s away from the quartet of riders battling for P5 – those were Lopez, Filip Salač (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team), Silverstone winner Senna Agius (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) and Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing Team). And further up the road, Öncü was getting a wriggle on. The Turk set the two consecutive fastest laps of the race on Lap 13 and 14 of 19, which put him 0.5s clear of Baltus. What did the Belgian, Moreira and Canet have in return? The answer from the Brazilian (Moreira) was a new fastest lap of the Grand Prix, but the gap – after a small fight with Baltus – was now 0.7s.

Moreira was coming though, and fast. Heading onto the final lap, the gap was zero after another fastest lap of the race! Öncü vs Moreira, Turkey vs Brazil. Turn 5 saw Moreira take the lead, so what answers did Öncü have? It all came down to the final two corners. And what a finish it was. Öncü hung his Triumph-Kalex around the outside as the duo locked elbows on the run to the line. Two rising stars gunning for their first Moto2 victory and by the skin of his teeth, Öncü stole it by 0.003s! Wow.

Baltus didn’t quite have the pace in the closing stages but it’s a third podium of the year for the Belgian, as Agius and Salač completed the top five ahead of Canet, who faded in the latter laps. Roberts beat teammate Marcos Ramirez by 0.060s, with Gonzalez’s comeback ending with a P9 – a result that keeps him top of the Moto2 Championship.

Moto3 Race

Leaving it until the last lap to take a first win is one thing, but the last corner is another. Still, David Muñoz (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) finally got the job done in style at the GoPro GP of Aragon, taking a first win after a final corner attack on rookie sensation Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Viel Aspar Team). In P3 it’s another rookie who continues to impress as Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) came strong late on, whilst teammate and Championship leader Jose Antonio Rueda made a last lap mistake to cost him late on and crossed the line in P8.

Grabbing the holeshot, Rueda was able to get through the opening sector cleanly but behind, a fast-starting Quiles had got into P2 at Turn 3, passing Luca Lunetta (SIC58 Squadra Corse). Quiles wasted no time by getting straight onto the back wheel of the #99 ahead of him as the usual early freight train in Moto3 took shape. Further back down the field, a tricky weekend for Stefano Nepa (SIC58 Squadra Corse) continued when he was taken out by Vicente Perez (LEVELUP-MTA) at Turn 9.

On Lap 4, there was a clear established group of four at the front as joining Rueda and Quiles were Muñoz and David Almansa (Leopard Racing), both with great pace all the way through the weekend. However, just three laps later, it was all one big group again but down one rider as Jacob Roulstone (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) was forced to retire with a technical problem.

Into the second half of the 17-lap encounter and it was Almansa making moves back into the podium places but Sunday specialist Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia) was right there too, ahead of Carpe, Championship challenger Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmet – MSI), his teammate Ryusei Yamanaka and Joel Kelso (LEVELUP-MTA) all right there. On Lap 12, the lead changed for the first time with Lunetta and Muñoz getting ahead of Rueda, who was down to sixth place. Soon, it was Almansa who had got to the head of the field, showcasing his weekend pace when it mattered.

Into the last two laps, Quiles headed the group of ten riders but Muñoz was right there with him and hit the front to lead onto the last lap. Quiles retaliated and behind there was also a costly error for Rueda, with the Championship leader getting it all wrong into Turn 1 and costing himself a load of places. It was all boiling down to a final slipstream battle but the #28 of Quiles looked to have it sorted until Muñoz made a bold move into the final corner, keeping it clean and making it stick. Quiles tried to hit back on the drag to the line but came up just short as Muñoz becomes the latest winner in Moto3. Quiles missed out by just 0.050s as he waits it out for his own first victory, whilst remaining coy in third, Carpe could only watch on the duel for glory but nevertheless took a second rostrum of his rookie year.

It was a career-best P4 for Almansa who continues to edge closer to a first podium, ahead of Lunetta and Piqueras, with the latter taking a couple of points out of Championship leader Rueda. Kelso managed to come through for P7 ahead of Rueda who rues his last lap mistake, whilst Yamanaka and Cormac Buchanan (DENSSI Racing – BOE) rounded out the top ten, the New Zealander equaling his best result yet. They just edged out Furusato, who couldn’t quite capitalize on his season-best qualifying.

2025 Aragon MotoGP News—Saturday

Miller – Oliveira fighting for 2nd Pramac seat?

In light of the news Toprak Razgatlioglu is poised to move to Pramac Yamaha in 2026, current riders Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira are set to scrap it out for the remaining seat.

“We have to think about our riders,” said Pramac Team Manager Gino Borsoi of the situation. “They’re showing great potential and we have to see if we want to keep them. We have to see where our riders are and then we’ll take a decision.”

Oliveira admitted he has until the summer break to prove to Yamaha that he should retain his seat. And Miller was upbeat regarding the situation. “And all I can do is keep doing what I’m doing. I’m in better spirits this year than I was last year, because I’m competitive, I’m showing people that I’m not fucking useless or I’ve lost how to ride a motorbike.”

Bagnaia rubbishes Yamaha links

Pecco Bagnaia has rubbished rumors linking him to a premature departure from Ducati, insisting “I will never quit what I signed.”

The three-time World Champion had another mire in the Aragon Sprint, when he was the sixth and last Ducati. This is, he conceded, the toughest moment of his career to date.

Yet rumors that surfaced in the Italian media linking him to a place at Yamaha in 2026 are untrue, he said. “When there’s a contract, there’s a contract signed and I will never quit what I signed. This is something that will never change in my life. I want to stay in Ducati, Ducati want me to stay. For this, until the finish of this contract and the next one.”

Ogura, Marini KO’d

The MotoGP grid was two regulars down in Aragon with Luca Marini and Ai Ogura ruled out due to injury.
Marini sustained serious injuries when testing for Honda at the Suzuka 8-Hour, including a dislocated left hip and fractures to his sternum and left collarbone. While he’s been transferred from Japan to Italy this weekend, it’s feared his injuries could well be season ending.

Ogura, meanwhile, failed a fitness test on Thursday after fracturing the top of his right tibia. Trackhouse were keen to find a replacement for the Japanese rider on Monday’s post-race test. They initially contacted Moto2 pole sitter Diogo Moreira, but the Brazilian turned the offer down. It’s believed current title leader Manuel Gonzalez will test the RS-GP.

MotoGP Sprint Race

93 territory? Not without a fight; it may have been lap record in qualifying, but it wasn’t as straightforward as Championship leader Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) would have hoped. A blistering start from his rivals meant he may have had to work hard but eventually, the six-time MotoGP title winner took a seventh Sprint victory of 2025 ahead of his brother Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) whilst a fighting third went to Alex’s teammate Fermin Aldeguer.

The opening lap was a corker as Marc bogged down before he collided in the braking area with a fast-starting Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing), pushing him back to fourth briefly. Marquez recovered and got back ahead of Acosta and was in third, but it was Alex Marquez who snatched the holeshot and broke free ahead of Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team).

Further back, there was plenty of battling was rivals Aldeguer and Acosta then battled over P4, initially going the #37’s way. Behind, big drama for Jack Miller (Prima Pramac Yamaha MotoGP) and Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol), with the latter running off track and then falling; Miller was issued a Long Lap Penalty, the latest in a long story of the rivalry.

Further up the road and Marc had now got Franky for P2 and set off after his brother. This left Morbidelli in the clutches of Acosta, who had now got within striking distance by Lap 4. He tried up the inside at Turn 1 but was Franky retaliated, with the Italian holding firm.

A lap later and Acosta was back to try again, but this time ran deep into Turn 1, putting him in a battle with Aldeguer once more. The #54 struck at Turn 12, holding firm until Turn 16 when Acosta went ahead again but once more, he was wide, paving the way for Fermin to bag P4 and charge after the podium places.

Meanwhile, another battle was brewing as Marc had closed down brother Alex for the lead and by the start of Lap 6, got the job done at Turn 1. The younger Marquez brother was still with him for half a lap but by Turn 7, Marc had got into his stride and was now the pacesetter at the front. Whilst one factory Ducati was enjoying their time at the front, another was having a nightmare as Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) dropped down early on and then made a mistake at Turn 7, dropping him to 13th.

With just four laps to go, it was Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) vs Maverick Viñales at Turn 1, with the Spaniard passing the Frenchman but using all the track to do so; Quartararo had to sit up, allowing Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) to zip by.

In the final three laps, Aldeguer was ruffling more feathers; this time, it was Morbidelli who was forced to yield with a bold move at Turn 4, giving the Murcian rider P3. This left Morbidelli to fend off fourth place from Acosta on the final lap but up at the front, Marc Marquez was in dreamland in his true stomping ground, easing to Sprint success, extending his lead in the standings to 27 points and thus guaranteeing that regardless of what happens tomorrow, he’ll lead the standings to Ducati’s backyard at Mugello. Alex Marquez was a hard-fought second ahead of Aldeguer, doubling up Gresini’s Aragon success and making it a second Sprint rostrum for himself in his rookie year.

Morbidelli held on ahead of Acosta despite the KTM star’s pressure in the closing stages but the #37 ended up being lucky himself, with Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) closing hand over fist in the final laps but running out of time, still bagging sixth from P10 on the grid. Viñales was seventh but it really was a fine comeback ride for Bezzecchi, from P20 on the grid and a qualifying to forget, to two points in the Sprint, showing that the Aprilia’s pace is right there after Silverstone.

The final point went to Binder, his first Sprint point since Thailand. Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse MotoGP Team) narrowly missed out and rounded out the top ten, whilst Pecco’s mistake left him down in 12th, behind Quartararo.

MotoGP Qualifying

Was it ever in any doubt? Not really. MotorLand Aragon specialist Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) set a new all-time lap record to fend off the challenge of brother and title rival Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) to clinch his seventh Aragon pole position. That 1:45.704 was 0.260s quicker than the #73’s best effort, as Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) earned a first front row start of 2025 to also sit within three tenths of the World Championship leader.

The opening qualifying session was brimming with some recent big hitters, including British GP winner Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) – and it was the worst possible start to Q1 for the Italian. On his first hot lap, Bezzecchi crashed at Turn 2 to increase the pressure in the Noale factory garage.

At the end of the first runs, Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) topped the timesheets with a 1:47.078, 0.021s ahead of Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team), with Alex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) 0.052s away from the top two in P3.

Things weren’t going according to plan for Aprilia and Bezzecchi. On his second bike, the Silverstone winner was experiencing issues and after heading back out, Bezzecchi was straight back into the box. Meanwhile, there were no such problems for Quartararo as he landed a brilliant 1:46.631 to extend his advantage at the summit. Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse MotoGP Team) leapt to P2 shortly after to go just 0.080s shy of the Yamaha star, before Di Giannantonio responded to go P1 by 0.021s.

How was Bezzecchi doing? Well, he was on a flying lap, but it was nowhere near close enough to threatening the top two unfortunately. The #72 was P10, 1.074s off P1, as Di Giannantonio and Quartararo entered the Q2 shootout.

So, could anyone stop Marc Marquez from striding to pole position? Well, if the opening laps were anything to go by, the answer was: not today. A scorching 1:45.986 was fired in from the #93 to go 0.437s clear of Alex Marquez, but the latter closed the gap on his second flyer to go 0.221s behind his title rival.

A pair of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing machines were sitting in provisional P3 and P4, Pedro Acosta leading Brad Binder, as Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) struggled to get going on the opening stint. A huge moment came on the entry into Turn 8 to ruin his second fast lap, with the Italian sitting P11 ahead of a final qualifying attack.

Bagnaia wasn’t hanging around in the box for long and on his opening lap on fresh rubber, the double MotoGP World Champion climbed to P4 to split the factory KTMs. Then, attention turned to a rapid Alex Marquez. The #73 was 0.079s under Marc’s time through the third split and across the line, the Gresini star grabbed P1 by 0.020s.

Morbiddelli also beat Marc Marquez’s time to go P2, so what answer did Marc Marquez have in response? He was pushing and then some because through the third split, he was 0.193s under Alex’s time despite a couple of moments.

And despite some rear-end twitches in the final split, Marc Marquez muscled his way back to pole position by a healthy 0.260s with that new all-time lap record. But we weren’t done yet. Through Sector 3 on his final attempt, Morbidelli was just 0.026s away from Marquez’s best, but it all went away in the last sector. And with Morbidelli and Maverick Viñales (Red Bull KTM Tech3) completing their last laps, that was all she wrote for Q2 in Aragon.

Bagnaia gained more time on his penultimate lap to spearhead Row 2 for the Aragon GP, with Acosta and Binder lining up alongside the Bologna bullet – a good session for the Austrian factory to cement P5 and P6. Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) is seventh and has Viñales and Quartararo for company on the third row, with Di Giannantonio, Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol) and Johann Zarco (CASTROL Honda LCR) completing the top 12 on the fourth row.

Moto2 Qualifying

Thanks to a 1:49.940 in Q2, Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) is a history maker after becoming the first Brazilian to claim a pole position in Moto2, continuing an impressive run of form in his sophomore season in the class. Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) will line up in the middle of the front row in P2, the Belgian was 0.222s adrift of Moreira in qualifying, as Deniz Öncü (Red Bull KTM Ajo) bagged P3.

Elsewhere, there was early drama for Championship leader Manuel Gonzalez (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP). A fast crash before he’d set a lap time signalled the end of his session, which means the Spaniard will start the Aragon GP from P18 on the grid – work to do.

His chief title rival, Aron Canet (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) fronts the second row in fourth, as both CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team rookies line up alongside the #44 – Daniel Holgado and Silverstone podium finisher David Alonso.

British GP winner Senna Agius (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) will launch from P13, with double 2025 race winner Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team) P14 on the grid – so there’s some key contenders starting from further down the grid on Sunday afternoon.

Moto3 Qualifying

Leading the Championship, winning at home, aiming to make it four in a row – it’s record after record for Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and he smashed the Moto3 lap record for a third pole of 2025 at the GoPro Grand Prix of Aragon. He heads Luca Lunetta (SIC58 Squadra Corse) and Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Viel Aspar Team) on the grid, with Quiles fighting his way through from Q1.

Q1 for Moto3 was all action and with some major names vying for graduation to Q2, there were always going to be disappointments. Quiles put together a succession of strong laps and was down into the 1’57.4s by the chequered flag, booking his slot in the pole shootout. Orevious Aragon winner and teammate Dennis Foggia was another name aiming to move through, along with Ryusei Yamanaka (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI), rookie Guido Pini (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) and Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia). Yamanaka and Furusato both joined Quiles but there was a surprise too with Vicente Perez (LEVELUP-MTA) in P4, edging out Foggia, whilst Pini will start from P21.

So, the all important Q2 was up next with a star-studded line-up; pre-session favourites Rueda and David Almansa (Leopard Racing) had a target on their backs as a crucial 15 minutes got underway. Almansa tracked Rueda in the early stages whilst there were two crashers: David Muñoz (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) at Turn 8 with a big highside off-line, and then Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing) in the second half of the second sector. After a first flying lap, rookie Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) led the way but it was Quiles on his third lap who was on top.

There was more bad luck for Leopard Racing as Almansa crashed on the exit of Turn 7, a huge shame as he’d been inside the top three all weekend up to that point. With his final flying lap, Rueda then stormed to the top of the times with a new lap record – a 1’56.361 saw him bag another pole position, ahead of Lunetta taking his first front row of 2025. Quiles, having been in Q1, completes the front row with a final flying lap to demote Carpe to the head of Row 2.

Furusato claimed his best qualifying of the year in fifth ahead of another personal best of the year for Jacob Roulstone (Red Bull KTM Tech 3). Almansa, unable to improve due to a late crash, is P7. Joel Kelso (LEVELUP-MTA) came good to finishing eighth ahead of Muñoz who, despite crashing, secures the final place on the third row, whilst the top ten is completed by Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI), who’ll be one of the first looking to move forward.

2025 Aragon MotoGP News—Friday

Poncharal in talks over Tech3 takeover

Hervé Poncharal, owner of Tech3, has sensationally admitted he’s in talks with former F1 Team Manager Guenther Steiner to take over his team.

“There are quite a few people, from various places, from Formula One, from other investments. But there is a name that is always coming out and it’s Guenther Steiner.

“So yes, we spoke with Guenther, who is a very nice. Very straightforward and I like that a lot. He has a lot of experience in motor sport. But at the moment it’s only talk and people explaining to me what is their vision, what they would like to do.

As uncertainty continues to surround KTM’s plans for 2026, the Frenchman admitted he’s exploring options for next year. “(KTM bosses) told me we would like to continue racing. Our management have told us we are intending to continue Mot GP. We would like to have four bikes… But we will not be able to have the same kind of deal, because as you see on my bike, the livery is identical to the factory team.

“There is a big KTM, there is an even bigger Red Bull and this is something that  will not be the case for the next [deal]. Therefore, I need to reconsider my financial situation to keep myself in the green zone financially.”

Toprak poised for MotoGP move

While official confirmation is yet to come, it’s believed Toprak Razgatlioglu has signed to ride for Pramac Yamaha in MotoGP in 2026.

The double World Superbike Champion has made it known for some time he is determined to switch to the premier class, and it appears a link up with former factory Yamaha is in the offing.

“No contract has been signed,” insisted Pramac Team Manager Gino Borsoi. Yet he admitted, “Of course, Yamaha has had some contact with Razgatlioglu. They are discussing, they are talking about next season.”

Miguel Oliveira, who is currently fighting team-mate Jack Miller for the second seat in next year’s Pramac line-up, has welcomed the Turkish rider. “Toprak is a great asset for MotoGP. It will be something exciting to see for sure. He’s welcome to MotoGP. He’s bringing something different maybe. And I’m curious to see how he gets on the bike.”

Morbidelli doubles down on Espargaro rift

Two weeks on from a first lap clash at Silverstone, Franco Morbidelli poured gasoline of the fire that is his relationship with Aleix Espargaro. The Italian repeated frustrations at the Catalan causing a crash which broke a bone in his foot.

“He should be just bringing the package home and collecting data,” he said of Honda’s Test Rider, who made a wildcard appearance in England. “Even more if he had the weekend he had: clearly off the pace by two something two and a half seconds in every session and then in the race you crash in the first lap. I had to pay that with a tribicular fracture in my foot. That’s frustrating.

“Just to race in a way that a test rider is not supposed to race. We have had episodes, so I thought ‘what’s the thing that made Aleix Espargaro come out of his working program during a race where he was clearly not racing anybody else? Clearly, because he was two seconds and a half slower.’ Maybe it was me.”

Friday MotoGP

Catch me if you can says World Championship leader Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) at the end of Friday’s running in Aragon. The #93’s 1:46.397 was plenty good enough to see him finish 0.204s clear of title rival Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP), as Maverick Viñales sticks his Red Bull KTM Tech3 machine inside the top three to sit 0.556s adrift of Marc Marquez heading into Saturday.

Heading into the pointy end of the session, Marc Marquez led the way by 0.4s over compatriot Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing), with another KTM completing the provisional top three –Viñales. That four-tenth gap changed dramatically with just over 12 minutes to go as the #93 slammed home a 1:46.397 – a whopping 1.1s quicker than second place Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing).

Acosta chopped the disadvantage down to 0.7s, with Alex Marquez the only other rider at this stage able to get within a second of the Championship leader. Simply sensational from Marc Marquez.

Viñales then joined the ‘within a second of Marc Marquez club’ with 10 minutes to go, before Alex Marquez climbed to P2 with a 1:46.907 – 0.5s away from his title rival and brother. And while a pair of Ducatis sat P1 and P2, Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) was P10 with eight minutes left on the clock – work to do for the double MotoGP title winner.

On his next run, Bagnaia clocked a 1:47.292 to briefly go P5, before Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing) set his Friday best to go P4. Pecco did respond on his next lap though to climb back to P4, as Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) struggled – to put it politely – to find rear grip.

The back-to-back-to-back polesitter was P18 with just over a minute to go, and after losing time in sector three, there would be no improvement – Q1 beckons for El Diablo, a disaster of a day in Aragon for Yamaha in general.

Behind the leading trio, Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol) set a fantastic late lap to earn P4 and direct Q2 entry, that’s the 2020 World Champion’s best Friday result with HRC, as Acosta made it two KTMs inside the top five. Johann Zarco (CASTROL Honda LCR) ended the day in a positive P6, and speaking of positive, Binder sails into Q2 in P7. That’s three KTMs heading straight into Q2 for the first time since the 2024 Catalan GP.

Rookie Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) was another rider to leap into the top 10 towards the end of the session, the #54 was P8 ahead of Pecco and Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) – the latter the final Q2 qualifier on Friday.

Aldeguer and Morbidelli’s final flying laps cost Silverstone winner Bezzecchi a top 10 place, with Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) also losing out late on. All five Yamahas, including Quartararo as mentioned, face the jungle that is Q1.

Friday Moto2

After the disappointment of the British GP, a fight back at Aragon has begun for Manuel Gonzalez (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP), with the Championship leader P1 straight away on Friday at the end of play. Leading the charge into Q2, he’ll once again be the favourite but the gap isn’t too big, so there’s still work to be done throughout the rest of the weekend.

Championship leader Gonzalez was in good form but left it late to hit the top spot in Practice, with his penultimate lap seeing him in P1 with a 1’50.214. He headed off Silverstone podium finisher Diogo Moreira (Italtrans Racing Team) who clinched second, two tenths adrift of the #18. On the podium last year at Aragon, Deniz Öncü (Red Bull KTM Ajo) was on top for the majority of the session and continued to improve throughout the session before taking third, ahead of an impressive Joe Roberts (OnlyFans American Racing Team).

There were late charges for Barry Baltus (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) and Zonta Van Den Goorbergh (RW Idrofoglia Racing GP) – both of whom came racing up the order in the closing minutes – and British star Jake Dixon (ELF Marc VDS Racing Team), who was P7.

Silverstone winner Senna Agius (LIQUI MOLY Dynavolt Intact GP) was a solid eighth place ahead of Daniel Holgado (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) and Marcos Ramirez (OnlyFans American Racing), who completed the top ten in what was a positive session for the whole team. Aron Canet (Fantic Racing Lino Sonego) was next up in P11, whilst Albert Arenas (ITALJET Gresini Moto2) was 12th.

At Turn 12, David Alonso (CFMOTO Inde Aspar Team) crashed, costing himself crucial time but thankfully for the Colombian, he was OK and got back out. However, he crashed again in the closing stages, this time in a much bigger fashion at Turn 9. He walked away and after late improvements, found himself close to the cut-off zone but sneaked through in P14, with super-sub Daniel Muñoz (Red Bull KTM Ajo) a mega P14 to get into Q2 directly.

Friday Moto3

Top in Free Practice 1 and top in Practice signalled a great day at the office for Moto3 World Championship leader Jose Antonio Rueda (Red Bull KTM Ajo) at the GoPro Grand Prix of Aragon – but it wasn’t perfect. A late crash at Turn 7 put a slight dampener on the Spaniard’s Friday, however, the #99’s 1:57.338 was good enough to see him beat David Muñoz (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) by 0.078s, with David Almansa (Leopard Racing) rounding out the top three.

Rueda was one of a handful of riders who suffered crashes in Practice. Maximo Quiles (CFMOTO Viel Aspar Team) was one of those, so too was Guido Pini (Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP) – and it was crashes that proved costly as both of the impressive rookies face Q1 on Saturday afternoon.

There were no such troubles for Alvaro Carpe (Red Bull KTM Ajo) and Adrian Fernandez (Leopard Racing), the Spanish duo were P4 and P5 respectively, while Australia’s Joel Kelso (LEVELUP – MTA) and Jacob Roulstone (Red Bull KTM Tech3) ended Practice in P6 and P7. Angel Piqueras (FRINSA – MT Helmets – MSI), Nicola Carraro (Rivacold Snipers Team), and Silverstone podium finisher Luca Lunetta (SIC58 Squadra Corse) completed the top 10, with Valentin Perrone (Red Bull KTM Tech3), Scott Ogden (CIP Green Power), Cormac Buchanan, who endured a huge exit of Turn 10 crash at the end of play, and DENSSI Racing – BOE teammate Ruche Moodley were the final top 14 finishers.

Ogden’s late lap meant Taiyo Furusato (Honda Team Asia) was pushed outside the Q2 places, so the Japanese rider joins Quiles, Pini and other stars in the Q1 fight that takes place at 12:50 local time on Saturday.
