Marquez brothers dominate Aragon FP1, Marc 0.970s clear

The 2025 GoPro Grand Prix of Aragon has ignited on Friday morning and it was just as expected at the top of the timesheets. The spiritual home Grand Prix for Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) and brother Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP), MotorLand Aragon has seen both bask in glory before and they finished 1-2 after the first session of the weekend, with the #93 in mighty form at home and the only rider into the 1'46s with a 1'46.974.

Completing the session with more than a second advantage, six-time MotoGP World Champion Marc was irrepressible in the opening track action of the weekend. With just under a second over brother Alex, Marc was in a league of his own. Alex improved on his final flying lap to consolidate P2, whilst a late improver was Silverstone winner Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing). Picking up from where he left off, ‘Bez’ was just over a second away from the top time but just half a tenth away from Alex. After a strong opening session, Alex Rins (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) was also in great form; the #42 showcased a strong pace at home and will be one to watch in the afternoon session; don’t forget, he won at the circuit in 2020. Rounding out the top five was the first of the KTM’s and Maverick Viñales (Red Bull KTM Tech 3), making it four manufacturers inside the top five.

KTM’s strength was backed up with Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) slotting into sixth place by the chequered flag, improving on his final flying lap. All five manufacturers were in the top seven, as Joan Mir (Honda HRC Castrol) took top Honda honours and flies solo this weekend within the factory team, as Luca Marini is out injured. Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) was in eighth place ahead of fellow Independent Ducati rider Franco Morbidelli (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team), whilst it was Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) who took P10, 1.5s away from the top time set by his teammate.
