The MotoGP World Championship moved on to Aragon this week. Moto2 proved once against that it’s the most exciting racing in the world. Marquez showed that his worst qualifying of the season wasn’t enough to slow him down and it took just a handful of laps for him to overtake pole sitter and early leader Simone Corsi. The last 10 laps were amazing as Pol Espargaro, Crazy Joe Iannone and Marquez traded positions. The final four laps were a dramatic battle between Iannone and Marquez in some of the best racing of the season but allowed Espargaro to hang on to the lead and take the win. Marquez pulled out a second but in a final lap move Scott Redding got past Iannone to take the final position on the podium.

MotoGP moved on to Aragon this week and Dani Pedrosa was ready after his miserable results at Misano. After following Jorge Lorenzo for the first third of the race he passed Jorge and never looked back winning by his largest margin ever. Lorenzo settled for a safe points second. The real race was between Spies, Crutchlow and Dovisioso. Dovisioso cinched the final podium position in the final lap. Nicky Hayden had one of the worst get-offs of the season, hitting the air-wall and flipping over. Video of the wreck is included in the post.
