Marquez ready to give his all at Aragon

The MotorLand Aragon circuit will host a Grand Prix event for the third time in its history this weekend. With the absence through injury of the winner on both of the previous two years, Casey Stoner, Repsol Honda Team colleague Dani Pedrosa will try to take to the top step of the podium in MotoGP. Marc Márquez, runaway leader of the intermediate category, looks to continue his run of three consecutive victories —and repeat last year’s victory at the track. The Moto3 squadron of Maverick Viñales, Álex Rins and Miguel Oliveira will seek to return to the podium in the third Spanish race of the year, whilst Álex Márquez will again try to finish in the points.

After a stunning final lap in the Misano race, Marc Márquez is positioned at the head of the Moto2 standings with a record advantage this season. He is 53 points ahead of second placed rider Pol Espargaró. The Repsol rider has challenged himself to score his fourth consecutive win this weekend, which would be his 25th victory since joining the World Championship. If he can achieve it, then Márquez would have exceeded his overall total from 2011 —with four races to go in the current campaign.

Marc Márquez
“MotorLand Aragon is a track which went rather well for me last year and at which I felt very comfortable. Let’s hope that it is the same this time. We’ll try to keep calm and have a good weekend in front of the fans. This track has a very technical first section, but the final sector is also very tricky. It is a circuit where you need to be good at cornering. The circuit is very close to Lleida, so I am sure that my friends, family and supporters will be coming along and that I will give my all to get the best result possible.”
