Marco Bezzecchi set a new lap record to claim pole position for the Aragon Grand Prix, but defending champion Marc Marquez capitalized on a superior start to win the sprint race on Saturday, August 29, 2026. The Ducati rider overtook Bezzecchi at the first corner and led every lap to secure his third sprint victory at the Spanish circuit, while his brother Alex Marquez followed him home to complete a one-two finish for the home crowd. Bezzecchi, who had earlier shattered the MotorLand Aragon lap record with a time of 1 minute 44.962 seconds in qualifying, made a strong start from pole.
