Aragon GP key

1. Departure of Mark.

Marquez took the wheel of Binder at the start and moved from 13th on the grid to 5th at Turn 2. Fabio Quartararo lost grip when accelerating and hit his rear wheel and hit the ground.

2. The downfall of Fabio Quartararo.

It could also have taken away the margin to the end of the championship, changed the script of the duel between Bastianini and Bagnaia, and lightened the initial ‘recommendations’ the brand gave Ducati riders. before you notice the exit.

3. Bastianini’s demeanor.

On the Thursday before the GP started, I was confirmed by Enea as Bagnaia’s teammate for 2023, and with Bagnaia playing for the title, what kind of attitude will I have with him for the rest of the season?

4. Bagnaia Opportunity.

Fabio Quartararo’s fall left Pecco in a position to deprive the Frenchman of many points in the championship interim. From then on it was clear to him that this was not the day to start a fratricidal duel with Bastiannini.

5. Management of the career of Aleix Espargaro.
