Championship Context and Circuit Background
Jorge Martín arrives in Alcañiz holding a 31-point lead in the riders’ standings over Marco Bezzecchi, according to reporting from Sky Sport and FormulaPassion.it. Bezzecchi enters the weekend recovering from a knee injury that affected him during the preceding round at Silverstone, where Aprilia dominated the weekend. Meanwhile, Ducati arrives at Aragón looking to counter the RS-GP machines on a circuit historically favorable to Marc Márquez. FormulaPassion.it noted that the Spanish rider secured a victory at Aragón in 2024 to end a winless streak dating back to 2021, adding to his record of seven premier-class wins at the venue.
The MotorLand Aragón circuit features a 5.1-kilometer layout with 17 corners—10 left-hand and 7 right-hand turns—a track width of 15 meters, and a longest straight measuring 968 meters, as detailed by FormulaPassion.it.
