A Winning Weekend
Against such a competitive Aprilia, Marc Marquez repeatedly emphasized how essential the highly competitive weekends were for his Ducati. And undoubtedly the Aragon track, where #93 has achieved a long sequence of victories, was marked in red.
Marquez brought home 37 points – cutting the gap to the leader Martin to -19 –, but it was not such an easy weekend, as Bezzecchi had secured pole position and between the Sprint and GP, the resistance from Alex Marquez and Pedro Acosta was not so easy to overcome.

Marquez and the Duel with Bezzecchi
One of the memorable moments of the weekend was undoubtedly the duel on the straight between Marquez and Bezzecchi, with the two bikes arriving very close, as neither wanted to give up: “At that moment at 300 km/h and just a few centimeters from another bike, you don’t think about your mother, your father, your girlfriend, or your dog. The only thing you think about is who brakes last. In those adrenaline-filled moments, the rider must be crazy, but a controlled crazy“, he confided to journalists after the race, in statements collected by As.

Who Will Be the Main Rival for the World Championship?
The standings seem to be starting to take shape, with a leading trio – the most favored for the final success. Martin has 256 points, Marc Marquez 237, and Bezzecchi 232.
This is Marquez’s view: “Anything can happen. Two weeks ago I was half dead and now I’m back in the race. It’s about taking advantage of the opportunities that arise during a weekend and seizing them when you can win. And when that’s not the case, you still have to make the most of it. But it’s clear that Martin and especially Bezzecchi – who I think will have some good races – are serious contenders. We have to be very focused.”
