MARC MARQUEZ AND MARCO BEZZECCHI TRADE SLIPSTREAM MOVES IN ARAGON GP FIGHT

Marc Marquez and Marco Bezzecchi’s Aragon Grand Prix win fight was built on a “scary” yet “amazing” slipstream battle, as both title rivals traded pressure in the early stages. On lap 6 of 23, Marquez—riding his Ducati—sent it up the inside of Bezzecchi into Turn 15, repeating a move he had already used earlier in the race on Jorge Martin’s factory Aprilia. The pair’s close drafting and late braking created the kind of high-speed duel they later described in those exact terms: Marquez and Bezzecchi both characterised the contest as frightening, but also impressive, as they battled for the lead.
