Race day began in perfect fashion for Aragon MotoGP pole sitter Francesco Bagnaia as he 𒁃topped morning ℱwarm-up for Ducati.

Most of the riders headed out immediately꧂, however, one of the pre-race favourites Marc Marquez chose to remain i🅠n pit lane. 

Two riders who endured disappointing qualifying sessions based on their representative pace throughout the weekend were Takaaki Nakagami and Alex Rins, but both riders loo🐭ked impressive earl🍌y on. 

Nakagami was over half a seಞcond clear of Rins before Aleix Espargaro went second - still four tenths down. 

Mir then reduced that gap to ♕just over two tenths, while Marc Marquez eventually made his way onto the MotorLand Aragon circuit. 

Pole ♐mജan Bagnaia was hovering around tenth place for much of the session before jumping up to fourth. The Italian then improved again to go fastest.

As was the case in qualifying, a stunning last sector saw Bagnaia pull back all the lap time needed. A deficit of nearly two tenths to Nakaga💧mi was then turned into a -0.030s advantage for Bagnaia. 

As has been the case far too often this season and again this weekend, Alex Marquez suffered a cras💖h at turn seven. 

Enea Bastianini’s strong weekend continued in morning warm-up as he went third overall with five minut🌳es to go - finished ninth i🍌n the end. 

Nakagami remained second overall with Mir 𒅌in third, while Jack Miller was fourth on the second factory Ducati. Late improvements from Marqu📖ez saw him finish tenth fastest.
