Eish, the Márquez brothers, Marc and Alex, showed everyone flames at the Aragon Grand Prix Sprint! Marc took the top spot, proving he's still got it, even after a shaky start. Alex secured second place, making it a family affair on the podium. Sho!
A Family Feud… For Second Place?
Alex admitted he had a ‘moment of hope’ seeing his brother struggle at the beginning. He thought he might actually snag the win! But Marc, being Marc, quickly recovered and showed everyone who's boss.
Local youngster Fermín Aldeguer, only 20, rounded out the podium in third place, followed by Italy's Franco Morbidelli. Meanwhile, Pecco Bagnaia had a tough race, finishing way back in 13th. Ag shame man!
Marc's Masterclass
After the race, Marc explained, “I had a problem at the start but managed the situation without losing too much ground. I stayed calm, and gradually got back into the rhythm and took the lead.” He also added that he took advantage of Alex losing some ground. Sharp sharp!
- Marc Márquez: 208 points
- Alex Márquez: 181 points (-27)
- Pecco Bagnaia: 124 points (-104)
Looking ahead to the main race, all eyes are on Marc to see if he can continue his winning streak. But with Alex hungry for victory, anything could happen! Keep an eye on Sunday's race, it's gonna be lit! You don't wanna miss this!
Ducati's Gigi Dall’Igna said that Marc “raced without rushing” and that with his preferred tyre choice, he should do well in the longer race. But as he also said, “a race is always a race.” True dat!
