Mir, Bastianini, Morbidelli and Marini caught in Aragon MotoGP Sprint lap-one chaos

Four riders losing out on the opening lap of a sprint is not bad luck — it points to a grid where the margins are so tight that any hesitation or contact cascades immediately. The Aragon circuit's early braking zones have historically compressed the field, and a sprint format leaves no time to recover positions lost before the dust settles. For the teams involved, the damage is not just the lost points but the added pressure on Sunday's race setup when some of those bikes may need attention overnight.
