Six-times MotoGP champion Marc Marquez claimed victory in the Aragon Grand Prix sprint from pole position, much to the delight of home fans on Saturday. Jorge Martin of Prima Pramac Racing secured second place, retaking the world championship lead.

Twice MotoGP champion Francesco Bagnaia, who started the weekend with a five-point lead over Martin, fell to a disappointing ninth place despite qualifying third. Martin now holds a three-point lead over Bagnaia and aims to expand it in Sunday's race. This marks the first sprint win for the 31-year-old Marquez with Ducati, following his switch from Honda this season.

Red Bull GasGas Tech3's 20-year-old rookie Pedro Acosta delivered an impressive performance to finish third, while Marc's brother and teammate Alex Marquez moved up one spot to finish fourth. Enea Bastianini, after a frustrating morning, improved his position to finish seventh.
