Aragon is complete! After the previous MotoGP race in Silverstone, everyone has been waiting to see what will happen and how it will change the standings.
Now that the 8th race of the season is complete, we will go over some of the key moments from the race and also the rankings.
Marc Marquez Secures Another GP Win
After coming in 2nd over the past few races, he secured a 1st place finish on the Spanish track. This marks an important moment as his championship lead has been extended due to this. It is also his 4th victory of
the season, and this puts him ahead of competition massively.
He dominated during the whole weekend, including the sprint also. In fact, he even broke the previous lap record. This fully demonstrates the speed and also skill that he holds on the track.
Many are predicting his 7th World Title is approaching this season.
Alex Marquez Closely Follows
Marquez consistently finishes 2nd in the majority of races this season. This has garnered him 201 points as of now and put him at only 32 behind his brother as well as the number 1 spot. His skill and speed have been well showcased throughout the season.
It would take a DNF from Marc Marquez and a stellar performance from Alex for him to retake the number 1 spot. Can he do this?
Quartararo DNFs Again
Once again, he unfortunately left the race early. It was a very disappointing race weekend for the Frenchman.
Many fans are urging his team to amend the bike issues that he is facing. Quartararo said that he felt “chattering” and also vibrations from the bike. This is what led him to stopping the bike and not finishing the race.
His bike’s performance has not been up to standard for the past few rounds, and many are questioning his chances at another World Champion title.
Despite this, many fans of Quartararo are confident that he is going to make a comeback in the 2025 season. Yamaha is also sure that their strategy as well as technology will be an improvement from the last few races.
