MotoGP is racing at MotorLand Aragón, where the riders are racing on one of the most demanding circuits on this year's calendar. After the last weekend which was a flowing challenge at Silverstone, MotorLand Aragón will bring a completely new test as we are heading back to Spain.
Motorland Aragón has been on the calendar since 2010 and gives us plenty of variations. It is 5.08 km long with 10 left-hand corners and 7 right-hand corners. combined with a long straight which gives opportunities to overtake under braking.
With the combination of long and fast corners with heavy braking zones and also some technical sections. Having the right bike setup will be important through Aragón’s sweeping corners where your confidence on the bike can make a big difference.
Back on Track
After the British Grand Prix, everybody's attention will be to a very different circuit. Aragón has given us some close racing in the past, with several places around the lap that offer opportunities for overtaking.
The local fans will be hoping for a strong weekend result, with several Spanish riders on the grid that will be excited to race in front of their home crowd. One of those riders Marc Márquez has had plenty of success here in the past and will be looking to add another good result or even a win at one of his best circuits.
A rider we will not be seeing this weekend is Ai Ogura who suffered a left-hand injury while training. Lorenzo Savadori who is a test rider for Aprilia will replace him this weekend.
