Six-time MotoGP champion Marc Marquez maintained his supremacy over his rivals into the second premier-class practice session at Aragon
Six-time MotoGP champion Marc Marquez continued to dominate his rivals in the second premier-class practice session at Aragon, where he had a significant lead over the competition in the opening session. Marquez, a four-time winner at the circuit, showcased his prowess even as the track returned to the calendar after a year’s absence and underwent resurfacing. Despite a small error in the penultimate corner, Marquez set a new lap record with a time of 1m45.801s, leaving his closest rivals, the Aprilia riders Espargaro and Vinales, trailing by around three tenths. The Honda rider’s impressive performance was reflected by other strong showings, such as Jorge Martin’s fourth-place finish on a factory-spec Ducati GP24. Noteworthy mentions include Zarco’s eighth-place finish for LCR Honda and the final Q2 spots taken by the Trackhouse Aprilia duo Fernandez and Oliveira. Yamaha faced challenges with Quartararo crashing and Rins finishing 19th, while Fernandez (Tech3 Gas Gas) was another rider who fell during the session.
