MotoGP will hit MotorLand Aragon on 28‑30 August for the Aragon Grand Prix, a mid‑season duel that could reshape the title chase.
Marc Marquez – Back to the Winner’s Square
Marquez has dominated the venue, recording seven Premier‑Class victories at MotorLand since 2013 and remaining unbeaten after his move to Ducati last season.
After a disappointing seventh place at the British Grand Prix, the Spaniard’s recovery dropped to a new low, with struggles that mirror those that beset him at Silverstone.
The race will be the test of whether his form returns on a track that counts heavily for his championship hopes.
Aprilia Seeks to Keep Momentum
All‑round results at Silverstone saw Aprilia lock out the top three positions in Q, sprint and main race, leaving Ducati scrambling for minutes in the race.
The riders now face the question of whether they can ride that momentum through Aragon and deny Marquez the victory that his recent performances predict.
Jorge Martin’s older set‑up and Marco Bezzecchi’s regimented comeback will be essential, along with a cohesive effort from the Trackhouse paddock.
Zarco’s Return Signals LCR Honda Resurgence
Johann Zarco is scheduled to return after a 100‑day lay‑off, pending a fitness test at Thursday’s show.
His leg remained embedded after the Barcelona restart collision with Bagnaia, setting the stage for a home‑grown rehabilitation plan that kept him on the sidelines.
The LCR squad will enter Aragon fully resourced, bolstered further by Fermin Aldeguer’s expected return at Gresini.
KTM Pursues Engine Power After Reliability Measures
KTM has re‑sealed its engines after a series of reliability issues, carrying the fixes through to the Aragon round.
With the RC16 having gone four races without a podium since the Hungarian GP, the team requires full horsepower to contend with Aprilia and Ducati.
The upcoming weekend will decide whether the power deficit can be overcome.
Bagnaia and Razgatlioglu Target Comeback
Post‑silver‑stone, Bagnaia missed points for the first time in 2024—a marker of his 2025 difficulties—and a win at Aragon could restore his podium rhythm.
Razgatlioglu, who only outran the Yamaha tester at Silverstone, will seek the track’s stop‑start layout to re‑enter the top‑10, adjusting from his WSBK‑style riding.
Both riders will step into a race that tests consistency across the 20‑lap distance.
