  "summary": "Marco Bezzecchi took pole position for the Aragon MotoGP sprint, setting a new circuit record. He led the start but was passed by Marc Marquez into Turn 1 and Alex Marquez into Turn 2. Bezzecchi conceded he lacked the speed to challenge the Marquez brothers, who rode Ducatis.\n\nBezzecchi, riding an Aprilia, said keeping the lead at the start could have helped him win, but he was unsure if it would have been enough. According to Motorsport.com, he insisted the Marquez brothers were quicker than him. Bezzecchi was also hindered by an injured left knee.\n\nThe Marquez brothers, Marc and Alex, took advantage of Bezzecchi's start, with Marc outbraking him into Turn 1 and Alex passing him into Turn 2. Bezzecchi eventually finished third, despite running the softer but less durable rear tyre.",
