Repsol Honda team riders to contest third race on Spanish soil this season.
The World Championship this weekend contests the last Grand Prix before the flyaway rounds. The fourteenth event of the season will take place at the MotorLand Aragon circuit, where MotoGP series leader Marc Marquez has a chance to claim a twelfth win of the season at a circuit where he has been victorious twice.
Doing so would see him equal Mick Doohan’s feat of a dozen wins in a single season, achieved in 1997. Dani Pedrosa, second in the overall standings, also knows how to win at Aragon, where he has always started from the front row and will be a candidate for glory this time around.
Marc Marquez #99:
“After a disappointing weekend in Italy, it will be nice to return home to race in front of our home fans in Aragon this weekend and also my fan club will be coming! This is my favorite track of the year and we’ve had good results here in the past three years so I hope to continue this way. It has technical first and final sections, and you need to be strong in cornering, but we will be working hard from Friday to be back on top on Sunday!”
Dani Pedrosa #26:
“Last year obviously wasn’t the best for me, but apart from that I’ve always done well in Aragon and I’m looking forward to racing in front of our home crowd again, the support is always great and gives you motivation! Obviously Marc has a huge lead in the Championship but there is only a single point between me and Valentino, so my priority is to win races and open that margin to take second in the standings.”
