For Fabio Quartararo, Aragón was a weekend to forget. The Yamaha rider struggled with a lack of grip throughout Sunday, suffered multiple lock-ups and eventually finished last.

He explained how a series of mistakes turned an already difficult race into a frustrating one:

🗣️ “The start wasn’t the best, but it wasn’t the worst either. I overtook Marini, who had caught up to me on the first lap, then I think it was Binder and Bastianini. But on the straight, Marini and Binder overtook me. I was in their slipstream, the braking point came sooner than I expected, my rear locked up, and I went wide.”

The problems continued later in the race, with another lock-up forcing him off the racing line and costing even more time.

🗣️ “Later, behind Toprak, my front locked up at turn seven, and I went wide once again, losing more seconds. In the end, everything locked up, and I ended up in the gravel. I did a lap that was fifteen seconds slower.”

Despite the poor result, Quartararo believes the track itself wasn't the main issue. The bigger problem was the lack of grip from the Yamaha.

🗣️ “We lacked grip everywhere, but, for me, the track conditions weren’t that bad.”

The Frenchman made it clear that his patience is wearing thin. After repeatedly trying different solutions every weekend, he now wants a more focused approach from Yamaha.

🗣️ “I knew it would be a difficult weekend. There’s nothing positive to take away from this one. I’ll try to figure out what happened, but I’ve stopped testing a hundred different things every weekend.”

A brutal Aragón weekend for Quartararo — and another clear sign of his frustration with Yamaha.

Jorge Martín knew Aragon was going to be difficult — and in the end, fifth place was the best he could take.

The Aprilia rider struggled with low grip all weekend, but chose to stay out of trouble and collect valuable championship points.

🗣️ “It’s the best I could have done, so I’m satisfied. I expected a difficult weekend, and that’s exactly how it turned out.”

Martín admitted he already knew on Friday that a podium fight was unlikely, especially after struggling to find the right feeling with the RS-GP.

🗣️ “Already on Friday I could see that wasn’t possible. I knew even finishing in the top 5 would be difficult.”

Compared with teammate Marco Bezzecchi, Martín felt the biggest difference was simply everywhere on the track.

🗣️ “Everywhere — there wasn’t a single spot where I felt comfortable. In every corner, something was missing, and that small disadvantage becomes huge by the end of the race.”

Instead of taking unnecessary risks, Martín decided that scoring points was more important than chasing a result that wasn’t there.

🗣️ “I preferred to pick up points rather than take risks and crash. Maybe I’ll take more risks in the upcoming races, but not in this one.”

Despite the difficult weekend, Martín doesn’t see Aragon as a step backward. He believes the experience will help him in the races ahead.

🗣️ “I don’t think it’s a step back; it’s a difficult track. We secured a fifth-place finish in one of the worst weekends in terms of how the bike felt.”

The championship fight is now getting tighter, with Marc Márquez closing to just 19 points behind Martín.

🗣️ “I’ll do my best to fight for this World Championship until the very end.”

For now, Martín’s approach is simple: keep collecting points, avoid unnecessary crashes, and wait for the tracks where he can attack.

🗣️ “For now, I’ll keep racking up points, and when the time comes to attack, we’ll do it.”

Pecco Bagnaia's Aragón weekend ended in frustration after another crash left him without a single point. The Ducati rider admits he is struggling to find answers as his confidence in the bike continues to disappear.

🗣️ “I think it’s one of the worst moments of my career, given that I don’t see a way out.”

Bagnaia says the biggest problem remains rear grip. The tire was already badly worn after just a few laps, forcing him to reduce the bike's power.

🗣️ “I have absolutely no grip. Zero grip completely.”

The Italian also explained that he is pushing himself to find a solution with Ducati, but the situation has become increasingly difficult, with crashes happening even when he isn't riding at the limit.

🗣️ “You push yourself to the limit, but you end up crashing when you’re even a second slower.”

Bagnaia believes the problem became much worse after Silverstone. Despite trying different approaches, he still cannot reproduce the feeling he had earlier in the season.

🗣️ “Since Silverstone, something has happened, because I have absolutely no grip. None whatsoever.”

The two-time MotoGP World Champion is now facing one of the toughest periods of his career, with Ducati needing to understand why he can no longer ride the bike naturally.

🗣️ “With the current bike, I can’t ride naturally, and that’s why I crash.”

Jorge Martín leaves Aragón still leading the championship, but Marc Márquez has closed the gap to just 19 points after winning both the Sprint and the Grand Prix.

Martín admits Aragón was one of his toughest weekends for feeling on the Aprilia, but he believes finishing fifth twice was still a strong result given the circumstances.

🗣️ “We managed to get a fifth place on one of the weekends with the worst feelings.”

The 2024 MotoGP World Champion knows Márquez is a major threat, but he insists he will keep fighting for the championship until the final race.

🗣️ “Márquez is a very tough rival, but I’ll do my best to fight for this World Championship until the very end.”

With the next round at Misano, Martín believes the situation can change quickly. He doesn't see Aragón as a setback, but rather a weekend where he limited the damage.

🗣️ “I don’t think it’s a step backwards. We finished fifth on one of the worst weekends in terms of feeling, so we’re not doing that badly.”

Martín's strategy is clear: save points when the bike isn't working perfectly, then attack when the opportunity comes.

🗣️ “When it’s time to open the coffers and attack, we will attack.” 🔥

For now, Martín has 256 points, with Márquez only 19 points behind. The championship fight is wide open.

Marc Márquez has made a huge comeback in the 2026 MotoGP title fight after dominating the Aragón weekend and cutting Jorge Martín’s championship lead down to just 19 points.

🗣️ “You have to believe and fight until the math says you’re wrong.”

Gigi Dall’Igna says Ducati will continue believing in Márquez’s chances as long as the championship remains mathematically open.

🗣️ “You always have to believe it. If you don’t believe it, it’s better to stay home.”

The Ducati boss also praised Márquez’s ability to overcome a problem with the bike during the opening laps of Sunday’s race.

🗣️ “That’s a champion, that’s how a champion is made.”

Dall’Igna believes Márquez could have been even stronger without the issue affecting the bike through Turns 2 and 3.

🗣️ “Without that problem, I would have had a similar race to yesterday’s.”

The numbers tell the story: 100 points behind Martín not long ago, now only 19 points separate them.

And Ducati’s message is clear—keep fighting until the math says it’s over. 🔥

Marc Márquez has conquered MotorLand Aragón once again!

Victory number 8️⃣ at Aragón in MotoGP — an incredible record that makes this circuit truly feel like Márquez territory. 🔥

Another tough Sunday for Pecco. 😔

Bagnaia was running in 7th place when he lost the rear of his Ducati before the front also went down, ending his race early.

The biggest issue? Rear grip. Pecco said the tyre was already struggling badly after just five laps, leaving him with almost no traction on acceleration.

Gemma and Marc Márquez’s dad looked like every MotoGP fan watching the two riders go wheel-to-wheel down the Aragón straight. 😂

So close. So fast. Absolutely nerve-wracking! 🔥🏍️

Sometimes you don't need words to show how intense a MotoGP battle is. Their reactions said everything. 😭😂

👑 The King of Aragón strikes again! 🐜🏆

Marc Márquez has done it once again at MotorLand Aragón, claiming his 8th MotoGP victory at the circuit.

Eight wins at the same track is no ordinary achievement. Year after year, Aragón has been one of Marc’s strongest hunting grounds.
