MotoGP Aragon Sprint: Marquez Brothers 1-2, Bagnaia 11th

Marc Marquez's Turn 1 move on Bezzecchi effectively decided the sprint before it began, and his willingness to telegraph the same plan for Sunday says everything about his confidence at a circuit where he clearly feels at home. The more interesting subplot is what the race revealed about the mid-field order: LCR Honda outperforming its factory counterpart is no longer a surprise, but the gap is now stark enough to be an institutional problem for HRC. Bagnaia finishing outside the points and citing the same rear grip deficit he flagged on Friday suggests this is not a one-session anomaly — his mid-season recovery now looks like a brief interruption to a deeper struggle. Acosta's pre-race chaos and still managing fourth is the kind of detail that reinforces why his talent is treated as a given even when the machinery around him is not.
