Enea Bastianini pipped future Ducati team-mate Francesco Bagnaia to secure an epic fourth MotoGP win of the 2022 season at the Aragon Grand Prix.
The result was only a slight blow to Bagnaia’s championship hopes with Italian ultimately benefitting as reigning world champion - and current leader - Fabio Quartararo crashed out. Bagnaia has overturned a 91-point deficit over the last five races to sit just 11 points behind the Frenchman entering the final five races of the season.
The race started as frantically as it would end. Six-time MotoGP world champion Marquez - racing for the first time since June - gained seven places early in his return to the grid and sat in sixth after qualifying in 13th position.
