Marc Marquez secured victory in both the sprint and feature races at the Aragon Grand Prix, moving to second place in the overall MotoGP standings. During the event, Marquez and Marco Bezzecchi engaged in a high-speed duel, with both riders reporting unusual aerodynamic suction effects while traveling at 300km/h on lap six.
