14:00 – The riders leave the starting grid to do the formation lap. The race distance is 23 laps.

13:55 – No last-minute tire changes.

13:50 – 31°C air temperature, 51°C asphalt temperature.

13:40 – At the moment the tire monitor shows everyone starting with a pair of medium tires.

13:30 – We resume our report through the words of Davide Tardozzi after the warm-up regarding a ‘lost’ Bagnaia also at Aragon.

09:55 – For now, but only for now, that’s all dear FP readers! The live appointment with us starts at 13:45 for the minute-by-minute live report of the Aragon Grand Prix which will probably see another great fight at the top between Marco Bezzecchi and the two Marquez brothers. Have a good rest of the morning and see you later, bye!

09:54 – After the checkered flag there was also a small moment of tension between the two KTM home riders, Pedro Acosta and Pol Espargaró, who almost came into contact at Turn 1.

09:53 – The final standings of the Aragon GP 2026 warm-up.

09:51 – Right at the end Pedro Acosta is chasing Bez, in 1:46.986. Good impressions anyway from the Rimini Aprilia rider who further lowered the limit to 1:46.512: proof of a certain ease and naturalness in putting together an interesting sequence of fast laps.

09:50 – Checkered flag and the Sunday morning warm-up ends here. There is also the first flying lap of Pecco Bagnaia who places himself 15th, with a 1.4 gap from the leader.

09:49 – Another excellent lap from Bezzecchi, who is the first and only one so far to go under the 1:47 barrier: 1:46.618 for the Italian home Aprilia rider, who now puts over 6 tenths between himself and the first chaser Marc Marquez.

09:48 – Poleman Marco Bezzecchi now takes the best time in 1:47.334. Behind him comes Marc Marquez, two tenths behind, with Acosta slipping to third and Aldeguer in fourth place. Small encouraging signs for poor Fabio Quartararo, fifth, after finishing his Sprint Race yesterday in a cloud of white smoke.

09:46 – Acosta improves again, going down to 1:47.616, with Marc Marquez chasing at 255 thousandths. Third place for Marco Bezzecchi while Bagnaia, with less than five minutes to go, goes out on track with the correct tire.

09:45 – Pedro Acosta takes the lead, setting the best time in 1:48.015. Then Rins and Marc Marquez, while Bagnaia has returned to the pits to mount the medium rear tire.

09:44 – Apparently the correct tire was mounted on the second bike, while the first had a used soft rear tire, which is not very useful for trying the first laps in race setup. Bagnaia went out of the pits but is for now the only one, obviously, with the Soft and not the Medium rear tire.

09:42 – Pecco Bagnaia shakes his head, he did not leave the pits with all his colleagues: the Turin rider was ready to leave the pits but then it was noticed that there was a wrong tire mounted on the rear of his Ducati. So work is underway to replace it.

09:40 – Green light and we go! The 10 minutes of the Aragon GP 2026 warm-up start.

09:38 – Meanwhile, if you haven’t done so yet, there is a nice virtual lap around the Adelaide track, which will debut in MotoGP starting next season replacing the beloved Phillip Island. Here is the virtual video published this morning by Dorna.

09:35 – Today is also a beautiful day in Alcaniz, with a nice late summer sun warming, but not too much, the asphalt: 21 degrees air, 29 asphalt and no clouds in the sky. Obviously the thermometer is expected to rise ahead of the GP.

09:30 – And here we are live to tell you what is happening in the warm-up of the Aragon GP 2026 at Motorland. Ten minutes to wait and the bikes will be on track for a last taste of track conditions before the GP, which will start at 14:00 this afternoon.
