Marc Marquez wins Aragon GP

Marc Marquez has won the MotorLand Aragón GP at Alcañiz taking his sixth victory of the season flys to +39 points in the World standings over Jorge Lorenzo and +59 over team mate Dani Pedrosa, with just four rounds left in the championship.
The Aragon GP looked like it would be a repeat of Misano, with Jorge Lorenzo clearing out in the first meters of the race and pulling more than half a second gap in just seven turns of the first lap and closed out the initial lap with a one second margin.

The first lap was marred by an incident between Michael Laverty, Danilo Petrucci and debuting Luca Scassa, in the meantime Marc Marquez was trying to shorten the gap between himself and Lorenzo and pulling with him Dani Pedrosa, as the veteran Honda rider posted during the second lap.
a record breaking lap 1’48″565 and shattering Casey Stoner’s 2011 record.
On the fourth lap the HRC duo caught the Yamaha rider as Pedrosa passed his team mate at turn 7, one lap later Marquez would try to take back the second spot and at turn 12 the rookie ran hot and wide touching his team mate’s traction control rear tire sensor, and just a few yards later Pedrosa would have a horrific highside as his rear wheel was no longer reading the TC.

Pedrosa had to be stretchered off track and taken to the medical center with a suspected knee injury and contusions to his hip and pelvis, but the latest news have cleared the rider from serious injuries.
Running off track Marquez and losing almost 1.
9 seconds he had to regroup and start chasinng down Lorenzo again and with just 10 laps remaining caught him with relative ease and passed him at turn 12, but it seemed that Yamaha rider just let him pass and there was no battle between the two, as the rookie broke away to take his sixth victory.
Finally back on the podium in third was Valentino Rossi.
The Italian had another entertaining battle in the penultimate laps with an aggressive Alvaro Bautista.
However the Spaniard could not completely concentrate on Rossi as the passed each other as he found himself in the clutches of Stefan Bradl.
The two Honda satellite riders exchanged hard passes and Rossi managed to put some breathing space on the final lap to cross over the finish line ahead of Bautista, Bradl and Cal Crutchlow, who never fully recovered after running off track in the opening lap.
Taking a lonely 8th was Yamaha Tech3s Bradley Smith far ahead of the Ducati factory riders Andrea Dovizioso and Nicky Hayden and Pramac’s Andrea Iannone who closed out the top ten.
