Today’s Moto2 race at Aragon, was a full fledged battle royale for two thirds of the race distance, which saw Marc Marquez triumph again, taking his seventh race of the season and reducing Stefan Bradl’s Moto2 championship lead to just six points.
It was a spectacular battle starting from the first lap with dozens of passes between Scott Redding, Sfefan Bradl and Marquez all three exchanging the lead.
By the fourth lap Bradl was leading, ahead of Redding and Marquez, but the trio will have to soon deal with hard charging Andrea Iannone, Alex de Angelis and Simone Corsi who joined in the fray.
The leadership of the race exchanged hands between all of these riders, with overtaking passes at almost every turn of the circuit.
With just six laps to go, the race suddenly changed pace as Iannone went slightly wide giving Marquez got the space he needed to clear out and he sped away, leaving the others to fight it out between themselves.
The Spaniard crossed the finish line to win with a 2.
466 second margin.
Iannone after his mistake re-took second holding off both Simone Corsi and Alex de Angelis.
Aleix Espargaro took fifth with a pack of 13 riders all jostling to take the spot.
Title leader Stefan Bradl managed to finish 8th after suffering some big issues with his tires, while Scott Redding ended up in 15th, tire issues also for the Marc VDS rider.
While Elena Rosell completed her first race in 33rd.
