Marquez wins Aragon GP, cuts Martin's MotoGP lead

Marc Marquez secured a dominant victory at the Aragon Grand Prix on August 30, 2026, completing a weekend sweep and significantly cutting into Jorge Martin's MotoGP championship lead. The Ducati rider held off a determined challenge from KTM's Pedro Acosta, who finished second to extend his record as the most successful rider in the premier class without a race win. Marquez, who also won Saturday's sprint race, started from the front row but made a critical error at the first corner, forgetting to disengage his rear ride-height device. This allowed polesitter Marco Bezzecchi of Aprilia to retake the lead and Acosta to move into second.
