Morbidelli and Acosta round out the top-five, ahead of Di Giannantonio, Vinales, Bezzecchi,ﷺ Binder𒁃, and Raul Fernandez who completes the top-10.
Bagnaia only 12th after starting fourth.🥀 Quartararo slumped to 11th in the end.
Marc Marquez visible struggling now for edge grip, like the rest of the soft runners, but he has 🥂2s back to Alex Marquez and 4s back to Alde♏guer who was only a tenth faster than the leader on the penultimate lap.
Augusto Fernandez has✃ retired - technical issue, not a crash for ꦿthe Yamaha wildcard.
Aldeguer up to third with thr♍ee laps to go, he passes Morbidelli into turn four. That choice of medium rear tyre really pay🌞ing off for the Spaniard.
Aldeguer on a bit of a charge. He's fou▨rth at the moment, but he was 0.4s faster than Morbidelli on the last lap.
The soft tyre runners really dropping off at the moment, even Alex Marquez. Not Marc Marquez, though, it's probabl🔯y worth noting.
Bezzecchi into the points now from 20th on the grid. He just passed Quartararo for ninth, who dꦐropped a couple of positions when he ran wide at turn one🙈. A bit of a salvage from Bezzecchi, though.
Marc Marquez already 0.🍌8s ahead of Alex Marqไuez having been in the lead for only one lap. Quite astonishing pace.
A bit of a lunge from Marc Marquez at turn one of lap six, but he now leads. It was clean enough, but 💧he did come from a dꦫecent way back.
Impressive, rea༺lly, from Marquez, because he basically made up half-a-second on that lap five.
Just to go back to the front, Alex Marquez just set the fastest lap of the race on lꩲap four. He's 0.5s clear of Marc Marquez.
Having been pressuring Morbidelli for third, Acosta is now back to fifth, passed by Aldeguer who jumped onto the 💧back of the KTM rider when he ran wide at turn one.
Lo♚ng l෴ap penalty for Miller for causing a collision.
Bagnaia's ra🎉ce is getting worse. He just got out-braked by Vinales into turn 12. He's now ninth - where he finished in last year's Sprint after he spun off the start𒊎.
Morbidelli now coming under pressure at the beginning of 🐭lap three from Acosta.
Acosta tried to pass at turn one but ran wide 𓆉and Morbidelli retook the position.
Contact between Miller and Mir at turn 12. Both go into thꦓe run off, and Mir falls in the gravel. He's out, Miller stays up and carries on.
Turn one, lap two and Mar൲c Mar𝓰quez up to second past Morbidelli.
Acosta was briefly thirdౠ on the run into turn one, but he dropped to fourth afterwards, and remains there a𓆏t the end of lap one.
Bagnaia made a poor start. He was passed around the outside by Quartararo at turn three, and he l🃏et Di Giannantonio through in the process at turn four.
It's l🧸i🎉ghts out in Aragon and the MotoGP Sprint is underway.
Alex Marquez makes ⛎the holeshot from Morbidelli and Marc Marquez.
