Only the perennial winner could not be beaten: Pedro Acosta finished second behind world champion Marc Márquez at the Grand Prix of Aragón, reaching the podium for the fourth time this MotoGP season. The Spanish KTM factory rider matched his best result to date, having also finished second in Thailand and Hungary. Teammate Brad Binder (South Africa) also scored points in tenth place.
Márquez won in Alcañiz for the eighth time and celebrated his third consecutive double victory at Motorland – after 2024 and 2025, the 33-year-old triumphed again in both the Sprint and the Grand Prix.
The decisive moment came in lap six: Marco Bezzecchi (Italy), who had started from pole position, was forced to let Márquez and his future Ducati teammate Acosta through. Bezzecchi salvaged third place for Aprilia.
The championship standings are tight: Jorge Martín (Spain/Aprilia) leads with 256 points after finishing fifth, Márquez follows with 237, while Bezzecchi (232) dropped to third place as a result.
