2025 Aragon MotoGP As It Happened

It's victory for Marc Marquez in the Aragon MotoGP, perfectly managed race from the championship leader.

Alex Marquez holds onto second ahead of Bagnaia despite that late push, but it's a first podium since Spain for Bagnaia in third place.

Acostafourth, and Morbidelli retains that fifth spot over Aldeguer.

Combat recommenced between Aldeguer and Morbidelli. A bit of contact out of turn 15, but Morbidelli holds on for now.

Bagnaia trying to get closer to Alex Marquez, gap down to 0.8s over the line.

Another fastest lap of the race on that lap from Marc Marquez, 1:46.7.

3 to go now, and Marc Marquez remains 2s clear of Alex Marquez, who still has a second back to Bagnaia.

Acosta now cut well adrift in fourth, over three seconds behind the leading Ducatis now.

Maverick Vinales crashed out that lap at turn 12.

Bezzecchi just passed Di Giannantonio for ninth.

Alex Marquez extends his advantage to over a second now over Bagnaia.

Nice battle between Morbidelli and Aldeguer for fifth. Morbidelli hangs on for now but a few exchanges there at turn 12, 13, and 15. Closest battle on track at the moment between the two GP24s.

Bagnaia now 0.7s behind Marquez. He's still faster than Acosta, but a top-two finish is getting away from him slightly now.

2s between the Marquezes, Bagnaia half-a-second further back from Alex Marquez. 1.5s back then to Acosta.

Further back, it's Morbidelli in a distant fifth, ahead of Aldeguer.

Fabio Di Giannantonio's just been passed by Joan Mir, and is about to be passed by Maverick Vinales for eighth.

Marco Bezzecchi has only managed to get to 10th so far, still not bad from 20th on the grid but rather confirms the extent of his charge yesterday was amplified by his choice of the medium-compound rear tyre.

Still nothing changing at the front. 

Just thinking about it, apart from a few failed attempts from Acosta to pass Bagnaia earlier on, where he'd out-brake on the inside and run wide on the exit, there hasn't been a single pass in the top-five since Morbidelli made his mistake on lap three.

Still around two seconds between the Marquez brothers, a few tenths behind Alex to Bagnaia. Acosta just dropping off slightly at the moment but not too far yet.

Fabio Quartararo has crashed at turn one.

Binder has crashed out at turn three. He's up and okay.

Almost two seconds now for Marc Marquez, who sets another new fastest lap of the race - into the 1:46s.

Bagnaia still pressuring Marquez for second but he's not fast enough in the right areas to be close enough to make a pass - he loses a lot in corners like turn 10, and the final double left, where he doesn't seem to have the same turning capacity as Marquez.

1.5s for Marc Marquez now. Alex Marquez holding Bagnaia off for the moment.

Johann Zarco has crashed.

Over a second now for Marc Marquez and Bagnaia getting ever closer now to Alex Marquez.

Over 0.750s for Marc Marquez at the front now, fastest lap from him.

Alex Marquez still has Bagnaia and the KTMs for company.

This long running so close, you have to wonder about tyre temperatures for the likes of Bagnaia, Acosta, and Binder.

Fastest lap of the race from Binder that time. Top five almost all together now, although the gap between Alex Marquez and Bagnaia increased a bit.

Acosta ran wide at turn one on that lap, and the space behind Bagnaia that created seems to have given him space to push back towards Alex Marquez - that gap down to half-a-second now.

No change in the first positions that time but Morbidelli has lost a lot of time to Binder after his mistake. Miller spoke yesterday of how running wide makes your tyres so dirty for a few corners after the initial mistake, so that could possibly be Morbidelli's issue there.

Binder's got back ahead of Morbidelli at turn five.
