Marc Márquez is back in the title fight after his Aragón victory.

🗣️ “Two weeks ago I was half dead or crippled, and now I’m alive again.”

The 9-time World Champion also described the intense battle with Bezzecchi at over 300 km/h.

🗣️ “At 300 km/h, a finger away from another bike, you don't think about your mother, father, girlfriend or dog. You only think about who brakes later.”

After taking the maximum 37 points in Aragón, Márquez is now just 19 points from the championship lead.

According to AS, Márquez knows every race will be crucial as the title fight heats up. 🏆

Aprilia CEO Massimo Rivola publicly apologized to Raúl Fernández after his race-ending mechanical problem at Aragón.

🗣️ “I want to apologize publicly to Raúl, because when there is a technical problem, it’s only right to apologize to the rider.”

Fernández was running sixth when the Trackhouse Aprilia suffered worrying vibrations and forced him to retire.

According to AS, Rivola says the issue must be analyzed and demands a decisive response.

🗣️ “These are warning signs that require a decisive response.”

Marco Bezzecchi explains his tense battle with Marc Márquez at Aragón.

🗣️ “I wanted to distance myself from Márquez, but I kept getting closer.”

The fight also cost him a position to Pedro Acosta.

🗣️ “I had to brake a little earlier. At that moment, Pedro came up, he had a lot of speed, and I lost the position.”

Despite that, Bezzecchi was happy with his weekend.

🗣️ “But it was a fun moment. I think in any case, Pedro would have finished ahead.”

According to AS, Bezzecchi left Aragón satisfied after taking pole and two podiums. 🏆

Nicolò Bulega leads the WorldSBK standings after Friday at Magny-Cours, but admits he struggled for confidence on the Ducati.

🗣️ “I struggled a bit to gain confidence. I rode too physically, I used too much force. I'd like to be more technical and fluid.”

Bulega is now closing in on his first WorldSBK title, but says winning it wouldn't change his life.

🗣️ “If I win the World Cup, it's nothing crazy. I'll go back to normal life. Yes, I have one more dream for myself.”

The Ducati rider also revealed he recently had dinner with F1 star Kimi Antonelli.

🗣️ “We didn't talk about motorcycles and cars, but about anything else.”

According to Motosprint, Bulega could secure the championship in France or potentially at Cremona. 🏆

Lucio Cecchinello believes the 2027 MotoGP bikes will be safer and easier to control.

🗣️ “The bike will be a bit narrower, more agile, and easier to control. The motorcycle will be a bit lighter and will also have less power.”

According to Speedweek, the new Pirelli tires could help keep lap times surprisingly close to today’s bikes. Pablo Nieto shares that view.

🗣️ “I think the lap times will be relatively similar. Because one of the biggest changes we'll have is the tires.”

The new regulations are also expected to improve overtaking and create closer battles.

🗣️ “It will be much easier to overtake – we’ll see.”

The 850cc era is coming in 2027. 🏁

Kevin Schwantz admits Wayne Rainey was his fiercest rival.

🗣️ “I hated him, I despised him, and I didn't want to be anywhere near him.”

Despite the intense rivalry, Schwantz says their battles were always hard but fair.

🗣️ “We raced hard, but we raced clean.”

He also remembers just how demanding the 500cc Suzuki RGV500 could be.

🗣️ “The Suzuki had to be at 98, 99, or 100%. It couldn't be at 95% and still be competitive.”

A legendary era of MotoGP history. 🏁🔥

Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali now believes the MotoGP title fight is wide open, with Marc Márquez back in contention.

🗣️ “Three months ago, this World Championship seemed hopelessly lost. Today, the picture is very different. I would say the championship is completely open.”

Domenicali says Márquez, Bezzecchi and championship leader Jorge Martín are all fighting for the title.

🗣️ “Bezzecchi and Márquez will do everything possible to try and win. Of course, they aren't the only ones. Martín, who leads the championship, is also in the running.”

Márquez’s physical condition remains a concern for Ducati.

🗣️ “He struggles in right-hand corners, especially the longer ones.”

Despite not being favorites, Ducati are happy to still be in the fight.

🗣️ “The good thing is that we're fighting for it.” 🔥

🗣️ “Finishing eighth wasn't enough for me. But now I think about it and say, ‘I should have been proud of that.’”

Scott Redding admits he sees his MotoGP career very differently today.

Back then, finishing eighth while racing against legends like Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Marc Márquez and Andrea Dovizioso felt like a failure to him. The pressure to constantly win and improve meant he struggled to enjoy his time in the premier class.

🗣️ “It was a lot of pressure, and I feel like I didn’t enjoy my time in MotoGP.”

Redding now realizes that simply competing at the highest level of motorcycle racing was already an achievement worth being proud of.

🗣️ “Perhaps I didn't get the results I could have because I got too comfortable.”

Sometimes, it takes years and distance to appreciate just how far you really made it. 🏁
