Marc Marquez started from the front of the pack
at Aragon GP which was also his 200th grand prix start. And to top it, the
Spaniard finished first as well but with a fierce did rage behind him with
Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) and Jack Miller (Pramac Racing) completing the
rostrum.
A lightning start for Marquez saw him beat
Fabio Quartararo (Petronas Yamaha SRT) and Maverick Vinales (Monster Energy
Yamaha MotoGP) into Turn 1. Vinales slipped to P4 with Quartararo chasing
number 93 on the opening lap but by the end of the lap, Marquez was a second
down the road.
The opening lap for the fast-starting Alex Rins
(Team Suzuki Ecstar) was rather dramatic as the Spaniard got a bit too excited
at Turn 12 as he collided with Franco Morbidelli (Petronas Yamaha SRT). The
latter crashed out with Rins dropping to P17. Dovizioso was up behind
Quartararo, with Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini) holding off Cal
Crutchlow (LCR Honda Castrol) in sixth and seventh.
Lap 9 saw Dovi power past Quartararo’s Yamaha
as the Italian now locked his radar onto the back of fellow GP19 rider Miller,
with Vinales holding the gap to Miller at just below a second. Marquez was over
four seconds clear and with nine to go, Dovi made his move on Miller at Turn 1.
Vinales was still holding onto P2 but with just three laps to go, the red
Desmosedici used the Ducati grunt to make Vinales look like he was standing
still as 04 grabbed P2.
