Following the quietest stretch of the year, with just one grand prix taking place over the last six weekends, MotoGP will burst back into life on 28-30 August as MotorLand plays host to the Aragon Grand Prix. With the remaining 10 races scheduled over the next 14 weekends, the championship will go into overdrive, and any mistakes or injuries could potentially have a lasting impact on the title run.
The championship fight remains finely poised between Aprilia and Ducati, which have traded blows so far in what has proved to be the most open multi-manufacturer battle in recent memory. Aprilia appears to have a slight edge heading into the 13th round of the season, but all could change on a track that suits its biggest adversary.
