After five different grand prix winners in the last five races, MotoGP now heads to Aragon - 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez’s most dominant event of the 2024 season.

Ducat꧟i arrive facing the rare threat of three consecutive MotoGP defeats, somethin꧟g they haven't experienced since the start of 2021.

After securing a record-equalling 22 straight wins from Jerez 2024-2025, Ducati’s streak finally end🦂ed with Johann Zarco's wet victory for Honda at Le Mans.

They were then promptly beaten in the dry by Marco Bezzecchi’s Aprilia and Zarco aga💧in at Silverstone, where Marquez claimed a hard-fought third after crashing in t🎃he original start.

Had Yamaꦡha’s Fabio Quartararo not suffered a ride-height device fai🐻lure while leading at Silverstone, Ducati would probably have been absent from the podium - a scenario last seen at Sachsenring 2021.

That year began with three Yamaha victories in a row from𒐪 Ma🎉verick Vinales and Quartararo, marking Ducati’s last three-race losing streak.

A Duc♛ati resurgence is widely expected this weekend, spearheaded by championship lead🀅er Marc Marquez, who was unbeatable on home soil at Aragon last season with Gresini.

Another Silverstone-style surprise?

ltxcn.topඣ podcast host Jordan Mo🐭reland believes Aragon is tailor-made for Marquez: 

"We said it about COTA. We said it about Jerez. But Aragon is the Marc Marquez circuit for me. Alongside Sachsenring, he just does things completely different☂ly to everyone else🦄."

Recalling Marquez’s peerleඣss performance in 2024, Mo൩reland added: 

"Last year he dominated every pra🧔ctice session. A dirty track obviously helped him; he was getting so much more lean angle compared to everyone else. Pecco Bagnaia couldn't understand how he was doin𝓀g it."

However, alongside Marquez’s red-hot 2025 pace, there havꦫe been recent mistakes🍌.

"The GP25 can be difficult to ride, but this should be 37 points for M🎐arc - ifꦏ he stays on the bike," Moreland continued. "But he was saved by the red flag at Silverstone, and there’s a bit of a trend with lapses in concentration at COTA and Jerez too."

ltxcn.top MotoGP editওor Pete McLaren also highlighted Marquez's Sunday vulnerability:

"It's surprising - after an almost perfect start to🍬 the year, when you take a step back and look at the statistics, it’s now three crashes in seven grands prix, something Pecco got quite a lot of criticism for in the past.”

McLaren believes track conditions at Aragon could be key: "If it's dirty and s🥃lippery again, it's hard to imagine anyone getting close to Marc.  On the other hand, if it's a more ‘normal’ low grip conditions, could it be more like Silverstone?

“Was Silverstone that one dry race of the year where everything falls into the hands of Ducatis rivals, like Maverick Vinales winning for Aprilia at COTA in 2024, and then💟 it's business as usual for Ducati af꧋terwards?

“Or are we going to see more races like ♔that, where the Ducatis almost find themselves ‘between’ the soft and medium tyres while the fastest guys at Yamaha, Honda, Aprilia and KTM can make the rubber work better?

“Either way, Pecco has won at Aragon in the past, Alex Marquez has been on the po🐻dium as well... Bagnaia will be hoping his front-end issues are eased, while Alex should be strong in the flowing corners again on the GP24 and was tipped to win the British GP until the first turn fall shook things up.

"When Bagnaia and Alex tangled over third-place last year, it put Acosta 🐽and KTM onto the Aragon podium. The RC16 should like the long back straight at Aragon, with Tech3’s Maverick Vinales out to forget Silverstone and﷽ return to the top five.”

Moreland said: “I think we could see multiple manufacturers up the front. I j🎶ust worry about Yamaha, because they’ve struggled in the past at Aragon. But what about Zarco continuing his magic on the Honda and figh🌄ting for best of the rest?”

“Zarco had genuine dry speed at Silverstone, my concern would be the long back straight for the Hondas, which, unlike Silverstone, starts with a very slow corner," ✱McLaren said.

“But on the other hand, I think Aragon's quite a b𝓀alanced track in terms of layout, so lots of bikes can be quick in different parts. It's about how well💮 you put it all together.

“Honda didn’t 🍎sound too optimistic before Silverstone, but it worked out well, espec𓄧ially for Zarco, who was able to deal with the chatter more than Joan Mir and Luca Marini.

“Then there’s Aprilia, who wil🧔l be on a high after 𒆙Bezzecchi’s first win on the RS-GP.”

Moreland: “Marc might have 🦹dominated the Saturdays up until Silverstone, but we’ve had five different winners in the last five GPs - let’s see if it’s six this weekend.”
