He duly delivered on his status as the favourite coming into Aragon, though had to fight harder for it than perhaps he would have expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Beaten to pole by Aprilia&#8217;s Marco Bezzecchi, Marquez had to launch a daring raid on the lead at Turn 1 on the opening lap of the sprint to have any hope of beating the Italian. In the grand prix, he had to come from third after his ride height device didn&#8217;t disengage at the start, making two aggressive overtakes on Jorge Martin and Bezzecchi to get back to the lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<div class=\"placeholder embed \">\n<div>Loading this video will expose you to potential cookies and tracking by the provider<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>He then had to absorb huge pressure from Pedro Acosta on the KTM before eventually breaking away with around 10 laps to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"ins-related_content dsp-related_content_in_article\">\n<h2>Read Also<\/h2>\n<div class=\"related-content-in-body js-view-dom-id-62b9d832eb080cd07210b68b08aa1b7403d64347f7647a28231c961f9e86113c\">\n<div class=\"item-list\">\n<ul>\n<li>\u2018The worst one for me\u2019 &#8211; Marc Marquez names upcoming MotoGP race concerning him<\/li>\n<li>Marc Marquez wasn\u2019t MotoGP\u2019s biggest winner at the Aragon Grand Prix<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>When the Ducati and his physical condition allow him, Marquez remains incredibly strong.
