Marc Marquez delivered a strong performance at the 2025 Aragon MotoGP, topping every session for the first time since the 2015 Sachsenring. The factory Ducati rider repeated his 2024 Aragon victory and extended his lead in the MotoGP championship standings. His win also ended a run of five different winners in five races. Alex Marquez followed closely behind, securing second place after holding off pressure from Francesco Bagnaia and KTM’s Pedro Acosta. It was Alex’s first podium since the 2025 COTA race. Meanwhile, factory Ducati rider Bagnaia claimed third, returning to the podium for the first time since Jerez and showing clear improvement after early-season struggles.
