The Aragon MotoGP race earlier today evolved into an epic battle between Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati) and Marc Marquez (Honda). Bagnaia led from the start with Marquez shadowing him as the pair set a blistering pace that no other rider could match. With three laps remaining, Marquez began to attack Bagnaia repeatedly and pass him several times only to have Bagnaia immediately re-pass Marquez on the corner exit. By holding off Marquez, Bagnaia took his first MotoGP win. This race will be remembered as one of the classic confrontations between the dominant five-time MotoGP champion Marquez and the emerging, younger star Bagnaia.
Joan Mir (Suzuki) finished in third position roughly four seconds behind the leaders. Maverick Viñales made his debut with Aprilia by finishing in 18th position.
