Marc Marquez remained firmly in control in the second practice of the Aragon MotoGP weekend, as all four Yamahas – including Fabio Quartararo – missed out on the top 10
Marc Marquez dominated the second practice of the Aragon MotoGP weekend, while all four Yamaha riders, including Fabio Quartararo, failed to make it into the top 10. Quartararo, who had previously secured three consecutive pole positions, had a tough session, finishing 18th due to struggling with his bike and experiencing challenging moments during his qualifying simulations.
The Yamaha bikes faced difficulties on the Motorland Aragon track layout, with no other rider better than 15th (Alex Rins). In the qualifying session, Marc Marquez continued his strong performance, setting a chart-topping 1m46.397s lap time with just one time attack on a soft rear tire.
In the top group, only Maverick Vinales and Joan Mir managed to break into the 1m46s lap time range, both over half a second behind Marquez. Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder also performed well, while Johann Zarco secured the sixth position for LCR Honda.
Despite Yamaha’s struggles, wildcard rider Augusto Fernandez delivered an impressive performance, finishing just a tenth behind the top Yamaha rider and ahead of Quartararo, showing promise for further development.
