Marc Marquez dominance in Aragon is about as predictable as MotoGP gets, but the Aragon MotoGP saw multiple pr𒁏otagonist𒊎s from recent races slip backwards.

Marc Marquez - 10

It’s been a few races since we saw 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez do what Marc Marquez should do, which is take pole, win the Sprint, and win ✃the Grand Prix.

But the championship leader never missed a beat in MotorLand. There were 🗹a few laps he didn’t lead, but realistically no one ever looked like beating him.

Alex Marquez - 9

2-2-2 for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez across qualifying, the Sprint, and the Grand Prix. That’s fine, because he’s a satellite rider and trying to beat Marc Marquez in Aragon is like trying to walk into a restaurant in Bologna as an Ingerlish 🧸;and trying to make a better lasagna than the head chef.

At the same time, he got beat twice by his primary title rival, who⛦ is now 32 points ahead – that framing is harsher, 💝but that’s life as a MotoGP title guy, unfortunately.

Francesco Bagnaia - 7.5

Sunday was a big rescue job from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia. His whole weekend was much as the last two – even worse, actually, when he finished 12th in the Sprint. 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:But a change in brake disc on Sunday morning gave him back som🍌e confidence, and he convert🌱ed that to a podium.

As good as Bagnaia’s Sunday turnaround was, though, the change he made was only🦋 good enough for him to resume the position he had in Thailand: behind both Marquezes.

So, positive – eventually – but still a long way to go for the two-time MotoGP Champion.

Pedro Acosta - 8

KTM continues to bounce between being the best of th🦂e non-Ducatis and the worst of them, as do all the other non♓-Ducati manufacturers.

This weekend was a better one for 🌃them, and Acosta was able to be far clear of the Yamahas, Hondas, and 🐲Aprilias on Saturday and Sunday.

He even battled with Bagnaia early on, and looked a podium contender, but as the rac🀅e wore on Acostaཧ dropped back.

Not where he wants to be, but Acosta was at least the best of the riders who didn’tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ have the machinery to win in Aragon.

Franco Morbidelli - 7

A first front row since Misano last year was as good as it got for Franco Morbidelli, who was foꩵurth in the Sprint after coo🐲king his soft-compound rear tyre and fifth in the Grand Prix after beating Fermin Aldeguer in a late battle.

Overall, though, a decent enough weeken♎d 🉐for the Italian.

Fermin Aldeguer - 8

The Grand Prix was almost underwhelming for💎 Fermin Aldeguer, finishing sixth after starting seventh and losing out in a late battle with Morbidelli.

But it was only underwhelming because he’d been on the podium on Saturday, having madeꦫ a savvy decision to go with the medium-compound rear tyre for the 11-lap Sprint.

The young Spaniard continues to impress, and, while he might have started out the season detached from the rest of the Ducatis, by now he’s able to be consistently at a similar level to all of them – with tꦿhe probable exception of Marc Marquez, who was on a different level to everybody at MotorLand.

Joan Mir - 8

The way Joan Mir’s Honda career has gone, he gets points here for not crashing. Okay, he didn’t finish the S🍷print, but even Jack Miller admitted that the blame lay with him, not Mir, for tha🍌t one.

In the Grand Prix, Mir’s seventh place came after late overtakes on Maverick Vinales and Ducati-mounted Fabio Di Giannantonio, meaning s𓄧ome decent late pace was there for the Honda HRC rider.

Plu♉s, he was much better ♉than Johann Zarco, who was never in contention for a top-10 even before he crashed out.

All round, a very good weekend for Mir.

Marco Bezzecchi - 7

From 🍸first to last and back to eighth. That’s been Marco Bezzecchi’s past twꦗo weekends in MotoGP.

Arriving i🍨n Aragon 💜as the most recent winner, Bezzecchi’s expectations were, if not to repeat the performance of Silverstone, at least slightly raised.

But he blew any chances he had at a good result by crashing on his first lap of Q1 and qualifying on the back row of th🐭e grid.

Making the choice to take the medium rear tyre on Saturday was an important one for his impressive comeback from 20th to eighth, ꦓand he was able to repeat that on Sunday when everyone else was on the medium rear.

Another weekend of potential better than the results would suggest 🍌for Bezzecchi.

Fabio Di Giannantonio - 4

He was the worst Ducati on Sunday and the worst Ducati in qualifying, but Fabio Di Giannantonio 💛was saved sl🌺ightly in the Sprint by Bagnaia’s disaster and his choice of the medium-compound rear tyre.

18 seconds off the winner is one thing, but it’s🦄 another when the winner has the same bike as 🐻you.

He was also out-paced by teammౠate Franco Morbidelli and rookie Fermin Aldeguer all weekend, too.

Raul Fernandez - 6

Out-c🎶lassed by Marco Bezzecchi on the factory bike, despite the Italian’s qualifying blunder, but a top-10 is something good for Raul Fernandez.

Alex Rins - 6

He finished the race, which is more than can b💖e said of his teammate, but Alex Rins had a pretty underwhelming weekend at 𝓀the circuit he was victorious at in 2020, finishing only seven seconds ahead of Yamaha’s wildcarding test rider Augusto Fernandez who hadn’t ridden a MotoGP bike in a month before Friday.

Enea Bastianini - 5.5

If Silverstone📖 was the worst race of Enea Bastianini’s career, Aragon was at least a step better.

Augusto Fernandez - 6.5

Augusto Fernandez’s first race as a Yamaha test rider (as in, not as a fill-in) went well. 13th, decent pace, only seven𒈔 seconds behind Alex Rins in the GP, and three points. All solid enough.

Jack Miller - 5

If Miller’s 14🐎th on Sunday wasn’t disappointing enough 🤪on its own, it came after he took Joan Mir out on Saturday.

Of course, it wasn’tꦜ an intentional crash with Mir, but a mistake from the Australian nonetheless.

Miguel Oliveira - 5

It was only Miguel Oliveira’s third race back from injury, but finishing behind the test rider is never a great look and at so🍬me point the time away from the bike has to stop being a justification for performances that ordinarily would be considered under-par.

Somkiat Chantra - 4

It was not a great weekend for Somkiat Chantra, who beat Lorenzo Savadori in the race, but that’s only nota🍌ble because he was beaten by the Italian in qualifyin൩g.

Lorenzo Savadori - 5

Another weekend of replacing Jorge Martin and ༒another weekend of flying quite acceptably under the radar♌ for the Aprilia test rider.

Maverick Vinales - 6.5

Maverick Vinales was not quite as good as Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder in qualifying on Saturday, and despite having decent pace at times he finished a second behind Acos꧒ta in the Sprint.

On Sunday, he was already far behind Acosta when he crashed ꦐat turn 12.

He was a🎉ble to get back on, if only for 18th, but Vinales, in general, was just a step behind the best KTMs in Aragon.

Fabio Quartararo - 6.5

Out of the top-10 in the Sprint, heading that way in the Grand Prix before a crash (that’s three GP DNFs in a row now for Quartararo, his last finish w🧔as his podium in Jerez), but Fabio Quartararo was at least able to get Yamaha into Q2 and qualify on the third row.

We know this isn’t a good track for either Yamaha or Quartararo, so surely there must be some optimism that Mugello could be better and perhaps a bit more similar to the 🐟performance levels we saw in the previous race.

Johann Zarco - 4.5

After the podium of Silverstone, Aragon was a disappointment for Johann Zarco, who was nowhere near the performance of Joan Mir in the Gran🍌d Prix before crashing out and only 16th in the Sprint.

He was at least able to get into Q2 direct from Practice, though, which is impressi🥂ve considering how much he struggled after that at MotorLand.

Brad Binder - 5

Sometimes it’s just not meant to 🅷be, and that’s how it felt for Brad Binder in Aragon.

He qualified on the second row, but sixth place put him on the dirty side of the grid. That meant he blew the start ♒in the Sprint and had to recover to take a point in ninthꦉ.

Then, in the Grand Prix, his start wa🔴s fine, but then he crashed out of fifth while running within sight of the lead.
