  "summary": "Marco Bezzecchi will start the Aragon Grand Prix from pole position. He set a circuit lap record in qualifying, according to the New Straits Times. Marc Marquez, the reigning MotoGP champion, will start second on the grid, alongside Bezzecchi's Aprilia, on a Ducati. Alex Marquez, Marc's brother, will start third, also on a Ducati.\n\nRaul Fernandez, who won the British GP, will start from the second row, Motorsport.com reports. The New Straits Times adds that Marc Marquez won the sprint race on Saturday, finishing 1.140 seconds ahead of the rest of the field. Bezzecchi finished third in the sprint, and admitted he lacked the speed to challenge the Marquez brothers, Yahoo Sports reports.\n\nThe championship leader, Jorge Martin, could only manage fifth place in both qualifying and the sprint race, the New Straits Times states. The gap between Martin and second-placed Bezzecchi is 29 points, with Marc Marquez a further four points behind.",
