HIGHLIGHTS MOTOGP ARAGON 2024

so there the dirty side of the circuit yesterday at the start of the Sprint the favorite is Marquez he drops back through the field Like A Champion PCO Bay is back in around seven and the younger Marquez Alex Marquez is ahead of the championship leader PCO Bay could not have a man another nightmare for the reigning world champion a cost today to third place behind Alex Marquez is the second of the pr and Mar Marquez leads past them on this first half of 23 it's not only the lack of grass r oh he started in and is it Fernandez's gone down by just the 310 of a second over Pedro Coster as we watch the rookie a Costa very very quickly slightly wider through seven both Le on each other they're both off through the reverse cor screw coming out the better of it looks like it will be to the 93 up it's brought Alex Marquez right into contention in B Deli on the second Prat jati Martin almost felt obliged to make that aggressive move on the inside for Martin to seize the inside line he saw the he went for it but they both made contact had he open his right hand out of turn 15 he heads now up into second place hamers is an astonishing Pace two seconds is the advantage there is no of course it's easy to see where Martin and a Costa lost so much time that was down at the reverse course that's kind of waiting for second place kind of need a little bit ear that but a Costa so lost the rear as he was equally felt like he had to do it if he was going to have any hope of going with Mark Marquez hope that already looks Martin has gapped Pedro a Costa has just got a huge queue of riders up behind him Alex Marquez Morelli Baya and long back straight up to six gear only part of this Aragon circuit where the M GP bikes do click into a wide sweeping up he goes through the 365 he might just be ruined the fact that he didn't get on Marquez Fernandez in 12th Place which is why you can see this Cube building up behind him Morelli get involved in a collision and lose more points but Brad vindo up behind him is quite Keen to take any way you felt like Bard was in Dage limitation as he got massive wheel spin once again off the parential heavy overnight R which dropped a whole load of dirt onto the surface here's a replay then of the raceing forward was he compared to the likes look at a Costa the speed differential as they started at all I'm lucky for him it was quite a short run to the first corner he practically sideways on the way down Pedro Costa's struggles of backing the pack up behind him as a Costa does a 498 that's a pack up B circumstances and the elements overnight conspiring against him for now into five to where Martin had that heavy crash on the run into five at the end of 148 but Marquez now s from the stopwatch now if Martin is trying to make him Ro Al though on this lap so far Martin is losing further ground Baya settled into a more competitive Pace now on this fifth lap he's still around a second behind rer to pass you didn't expect pre weekend such a point swing in favor 13 points clear that is some swing in favor of the Spanish Rider who fastest lap as the grip levels do improve and the mellin tires get up to temperature one p lead now to 2 and 1/2 seconds over Martin Martin's the only Rider Laing within half a second of mar best possible position to join his brother potentially on the podium later on a Costa has now up his vinder just looking fa qu cross in the 11 up Sprint yesterday that's turn five that's a big one isn't it for that turn five has not been kind to quaro so far this weekend and they he's finding himself down in 10th place trying to work his way through on Aussie Jack that KTM is not the slowest by the GP there is he andales must have dropped backwards Maverick Bales is back in 19th Place safe for Luca Marini who didn't get off the line at the start of so there is this battle involving an Jack Miller's in there as well S as well on the exit yeah he ran in Hots compromised all of his exit speed and Miller just right returning from that dislocated left shoulder struggling with pain a lack of strength and a lack of M well no that was dig your passing B up the road in eth place so Antonio bini guess finding out just how difficult it is to overtake offline here at Aragon with all the Maverick vinales what on Earth is going on with the Spanish post VES you wonder how long Maverick Berard is going to carry on in this Grand Prix Alex Marquez to his credit in the 4X personal best lap for the Spanish Rider in third place to give the listeners an idea what it's like out there what they're going through right now when you which is worse and also uh you can't trust the lean angle for don't uh like it you know and then with that same bike same tires you go somewhere with all their style whatever it suits you know they they figure it out better than others line of reasonable grip and outside that it's scary so it makes it very hard to briefly that's Brad binder look how close the KTM Rider is now to B's rear time B all's first lap crash right here in the breaking Zone the heart breaking Zone but to breaks at the end of the back straight Pedro Costa is ever slightly edging away from this group now B needs to get past as he closes in on the brakes we know how good he is on Corner entry very nearly touched the red two and a half seconds he might be behind M Mar he goes in hot into five on the dirty part of theine was his personal best lap of this Grand Prix so far it was 3/10 faster there you look mode right now just to make sure that he's got plenty of rubber left for the end of this ground three setor two on this lap he just took 3/10 of a second out of martin9 and that's a graphic demonstr it Martin looked like he Wasing on in this position and dropped the ball and thrown it all the way back to Alex on lap n the lap he's just completed he dropped down that was a response wasn't it to Martin one of only two Riders able to stay in the 48 he's doing a 14895 trying to find his way through Morell a lap AO cost him three seconds he did a 1526 clean up his tires a little bit after that mistake that Mor made which released Baya Baya starting to passes him there's a two second Gap up to Alex Marquez so the progress might 19 97 the two brothers have stood on a Grand Prix Podium that was 199 first and third as it stands right now we follow and track the world champion Pekka Baya the 48 that was about 310 faster than a Costa directly ahead of him that was a but he senses here on his pitball that the B is getting on with this shows you what B have to be a little bit careful here is Alex Marquez who we're looking at here yeah you can see the information on your screen just about this it can quite easily sort of two and throw like that goes that's going to cost yeah Costa was in way too deep there wasn't into reverse Court screw he did really Fales well what a shocking weekend he had he was just no was behind at the end of that lap 10 unbelievable back in this EXC yet he goes in one he was just making sure he breaked as late as he dared but might be hitting some front tire problems here we've seen it all day haven't we in all three class is one PCO B of course with that series of Errors for a Costa it's kind of let on the previous his pace is absolutely fine at the moment this is a pretty impressive damage limitation ex that was not what he came for but four play after another massive wheel spin off the line would be Austin Tex's been on this phenomenal recent record fed the Aragon wall you can see just how quickly varar is streaking away battle for third place between Alex Marquez and and PCO Baya through the third SE of B might not have given up on a Podium yet yeah which would be an awesome into 16 so some of the places have been gifted somewhat to the Italian but te looking on there DAV do see all of his pre-race fears coming through once again launching away from that third place saw B drop back to seventh but he is catching his they' done identical lap time 48.6 is on lap 12 11 to go then here he did too he's now got himself clear of Ja Miller he's right up behind Fabio de still to potentially Brew in the bottom half of the top 10 as bashini tries to salvage whatever Point what he had that horrible spin as Alex Marquez then got himself into the 48s for the first time yeah and I let them do their debrief and then caught the team after and they just went uh he's my you know guesses after listening for a to you know for a long time to Maverick and get to turn the bike it might be a style thing or combination with his style in the bike but mik yeah all weekend you felt thanks very much Simon all weekend you felt Bas has been to full lean angle felt like he was going to crash just felt like the G is just racking up the big points finishes he'll hate another second place of that world championship andaya is now starting to storm towards Marquez that Gap gets ahead of him Alex Marquez hasn't been able to find a 148 for quite some time now he's going a half to he wants to hold on to this Marquez pass is r on track at the moment is actually Van's teammate and basini who did pass to J to two and a half seconds behind the aosta bki battle so basini has still got an awful long time race leader Mar a sometimes to be the boss of an basini be pulling your hair out he's going to be a Podium Contender but you just can't have these kind of days if you are to be posing moment well he will more than likely pick off Frankie Morelli maybe Bei in s and mag over the line to complete lap 15 there is Alex on the no high 48 p and Morell think hean Antonio is Now setting a personal BAS there he comes into this week a not at 100% eventually bring home a top 10 he's got a long way to go here to fend off the world champion they go in 2022 that day he lost out to an Bas but just look how much able to with the the good drive he picks up the throttle nice here out of 15 this move in front of you will immediately just pull out those extra eers as he gets on the throttle ever so slightly early problem keeping the front wheel down there onto the home straight A 495 for Alex marz job there in fif spot not the podium challenge that he would have won can still drag himself back into contention on board then with B he's in a flick it right now coming through but be close enough to attack Alex Marquez down the hill into the reverse Court scw Simon quickly back down to in performance which you'd expect by now but I think that Medium today I saw them on the Sprint Podium the machines and they were quite worn on the left hand side the wall front tire wise and you're either you know start running wide you can't get the bike to turn or you fall yeah thanks very much s we'll keep a very close eye on the one so whe there was some mistake from the Italian as we're back in this battle for this very important three points in terms of Pekka Bay's hopes of the three defending and clinging on to that third place they go now through turns four progress continues he's now passed Frankie mellian up into eighth place and he's now right on the N last time around but he's soon going to have some major trouble in the form of the Beast he can just sort of work out the puzzle here just keep a close eye watch outside oh Alex he's taken down the world champion down the hill running hot into turn 12 around the outside well Alex Marquez goes wide so he's on the inside he's not really got anywhere to go there by think nasty one a real nasty one he got body slammed by that gini daati car all that drama then has pushed Pedro Costa onto the Podi wi not not just here in Aragon but in the outcome of this M GP World Championship what did you make of it I think Mark Alex got a little bit too hot in and could not stop around the outside he went on his normal racing Speedo avoiding all the trouble blissfully unaware of the drama that's un for too you can just see there the Gap 4.9 seconds ahead of him to Marquez P's sister looks on let's hope the Pekka B is okay of course it was a crash going to be the case again cuz that was a a real nasty one the fim stewards will be oh fex Marquez I guess must have known that he was going to lose that third place to PCO B the time he would have ticked it into 13 Alex Marquez would have been considerably behind him Alex Marquez was big challenging points Alex Marquez loses a potential home Podium which Falls now ja's Podium lockout slips away but what a give that is for J Martin for banga and that could be the cost of this one of the Lotsa Alex Marquez will say there where was I supposed to go peka Bay pek Bay fans and for the world champion at that point he knows he's out of control he's lost cont and Alex Marquez is gp23 so I mean you see the replays you had a little head you know I think that's what all decided yeah the has run wide pekaar is just running his normal L his normal speed he's not going to just up for any debate is that could have a huge bearing on this year's managing that's promoted Pedro Costa onto the podium Focus two and a half laps away from 20 very useful World Championship points just keep your head keep your concentration and 20 points are yours PCO Baya off PCO is okay cuz that was a pretty horrible looking accident for him you know wanted to third place N9 seconds when it would have been considerably less when Alex Marquez fifth place he's still doing Low 149s by far the quickest Rider management issues no grip concerns whatsoever for your R utterly brilliant start to finish Victory it looks like for the number 93 doesn't have an injury rolling around under the bike like that also super happy to see as you're spinning around yeah thanks ever so much for that s another great observation running right at the front of this Aragon Grand Prix there's number 93 m GP are about to come to a glorious end five clear of Hawaii Martin Martin is 10 seconds clear of p a couple attempts quicker last time around as he chases the first Podium since the opening night of the Seas of advantage over Martin can just enjoy this final lap after everything he's been back in 2021 and Mar Marquez is about to return to the be super happy for Mark Marquez who is now coming into the Final Phase of two corners left to end 1,43 days of Hurt No despair but through sheia will through Shear skill the 31y old has risen to the stop win number 86 and none will feel quite as good as this but the old magic is still there what a moment for Mark Marquez Grand Prix Victory P position he joined the catti to enjoy race story as he wins for the first time since Amelia Rania in 20 in 2021 when he took his first win post injury that was only a two is certainly there for Mark Marquez that victory was barely in any doubt TI pressure infringement for R Fernandez Jack Miller Antonio finished in seventh Jack Miller in 10th so both could drop out of the top 10 with that yeah if they are Marquez then your glorious dominant race winner here in Aron [Music] he [Music] what spe [Applause]
