Marc Marquez dominated the 2024 Aragon Grand Prix for his first full-distance win in almost three years, but his brother Alex’s tangling with Pecco Bagnaia may be the bigger story
Six-time MotoGP champion Marc Marquez dominated the 2024 Aragon Grand Prix, marking his first full-distance premier-class win in nearly three years. However, his victory was overshadowed by a collision between reigning champion Pecco Bagnaia and Marquez’s brother Alex in the fight for the final podium spot, altering the title race dynamics. Marquez had entered the race as a clear favorite, excelling in the variable-grip conditions at a resurfaced Motorland Aragon due to rain washing out grip build-up between Friday and Saturday. Despite facing pressure from championship leader Jorge Martin, Marquez maintained a significant lead and secured the win comfortably. The collision between Bagnaia and Alex Marquez impacted the title race, with Bagnaia now trailing Martin by 23 points after the race. In the end, rookie Pedro Acosta held off competition to secure a surprising podium finish, showcasing his resilience and potential in the premier class.
