Marc Marquez reignites Ducati MotoGP bike spec debate after Aragon sprint dominance
MotoGP championship leader Marc Marquez, despite being the only factory Ducati rider in the top five in the Aragon sprint, insists he is on “exactly the same bike” as those on the GP24. He converted pole into a seventh sprint victory of the 2025 campaign, defeating Gresini’s Alex Marquez by 2.080 seconds. The victory extended his championship lead to 27 points going into Sunday’s grand prix after taking the lead on lap six. Marquez’s factory-spec Ducati was the only one in the top five, with Ducati confirming slight differences in engines and other parts to the full GP24s. Even though there were some differences, Marquez feels “everything was under control” during the sprint despite initial challenges, including a racing incident with Pedro Acosta at the start of the race.
