2025 Aragon MotoGP: Friday practice as it happened

Recap the 2025 MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix

The eighth round of the 2025 MotoGP World Championship sees the paddock return to Spain for the Aragon Grand Prix. 

Marc Marquez leads the standings ahead of what is effectively a home race for the eight-time world champion, after finishing third in a chaotic British Grand Prix two weeks ago. 

The factory Ducati rider rebounded from a crash ahead of a red flag to get himself on the podium and extend his championship lead to 24 points over younger brother Alex Marquez. 

Pecco Bagnaia's hopes took a major knock at Silverstone as a DNF in the grand prix has left him 72 points back of team-mate Marc Marquez ahead of the eighth round. 

Friday schedule:

  • FP1 - 9:45 BST (45 minutes)
  • Practice - 14:00 BST (60 minutes)

09:59

Big move from Pecco Bagnaia to third with a 1m48.482s, though 0.817s off team-mate Marc Marquez right now. 

09:59

Competitive start in general, with two Ducatis followed by an Aprilia, a KTM and a Honda in the top five. 

09:58

Healthy advantage for Marc Marquez already in FP1 of 0.423s. Early days, but he's hit the ground running. 

09:56

We've had our first glimpse of British GP winner Marco Bezzecchi, who jumps up to second, on an Aprilia that looks more and more like a stealth fighter than a motorbike!

09:53

Marc Marquez strikes back, though, with a 1m47.665s. 

09:53

All change again at the top as Pedro Acosta is now fastest on a 1m48.794s. 

09:52

Marc Marquez is now top of the pile with a 1m49.190s. 

09:51

For reference, the lap record is 1m45.801s. 

09:49

But that has been quickly beaten by Maverick Vinales on a 1m51.067s.

09:49

Johann Zarco sets the early pace with a 1m51.088s. 

09:45
FP1 - Green flag

Pitlane is open for the 45-minute FP1 session.

09:40

Fabio Quartararo suffered heartbreak at Silverstone while leading, but the positive is the Yamaha is clearly looking competitive.

Not always the best track for him and for the M1, another weekend like Silverstone will be the biggest sign yet that Yamaha is on the right path.

09:35

Big weekend coming up for Pecco Bagnaia. After crashing out of the British GP, he is now 72 points off the championship lead.

Aragon has been a bit of a mixed bag for Bagnaia over the years, but if there's a weekend to get his title challenge back on track it has to be this one. 

09:32

Conditions are lovely at Aragon this morning. Air temperature is already at 24 degrees C, while track temperature is up at 37 degrees C.

09:28
Wildcard - Augusto Fernandez

Augusto Fernandez will make his first grand prix appearance in factory Yamaha colours at Aragon this weekend. 

While he has already raced this year with Pramac as a replacement rider, this weekend marks his first wildcard as a Yamaha test rider. 

09:27
DNS - Ai Ogura, Luca Marini

Due to injury from a crash at the British Grand Prix, Ai Ogura will not take part in this weekend's Aragon GP for Trackhouse Aprilia. 

He will not be replaced. 

Luca Marini is also absent from this weekend's event following an accident during a Suzuka 8 Hours test in Japan last week. 

Honda will not replace him this weekend either. 

09:25

Marc Marquez dominated last year's Aragon GP in what proved to be an unusual weekend at the circuit. 

A new surface had been laid prior to the event, with continual overnight rain leaving it very slick each day. That shouldn't be a problem this year.

09:21
