Marc Márquez returns to his home track as favorite. Who can challenge at MotorLand?
The 2025 MotoGP championship roars back into action this Sunday with the Aragon Grand Prix at MotorLand Aragón, where lights go out at 2pm local time on June 8. This iconic Spanish circuit plays host to Round 8 of the season and delivers the kind of technical challenge that separates the elite from the field.
Built into the rugged hills of Alcañiz, Aragón’s 5.1km layout is packed with flowing corners, hard braking zones, and a nearly 1km back straight that demands both top-end speed and late-braking bravery. With 10 left-handers and seven rights, it’s one of the most complex circuits on the calendar — a favorite among riders and engineers alike.
Marc Márquez heads into the weekend as the man to beat after recapturing vintage form in recent rounds. He’s a six-time winner at Aragón and returns with a factory Ducati underneath him — a frightening combination for the rest of the paddock. His brother, Álex Márquez, sits second in the standings and has looked equally sharp, while reigning champion sco Bagnaia remains a consistent podium threat.
Throw in long-shot talents like Fabio Quartararo, Pedro Acosta, and Marco Bezzecchi, and we’ve got all the makings of a classic Spanish GP — with the betting markets wide open behind the clear favorite with top sportsbooks.
Marc Márquez to win
He’s the king of Aragón — full stop. Now with a Ducati beneath him, Marc Márquez returns to his home track with arguably the best package on the grid. He’s dominated here in weaker machinery, and with form trending up, he’s the clear-cut favorite for a reason.
Álex Márquez to win
The younger Márquez has quietly become one of the most consistent riders of 2025. He knows this track inside-out and has taken big steps forward in race management and pace. At +500, he offers real value if Marc falters — or if the Ducati duo run away early and Álex finds clean air.
Pedro Acosta to win
Acosta’s rookie year has been electric, and while Aragón may not be KTM’s strongest circuit, his fearlessness on the brakes and corner aggression make him a live outsider. If conditions turn chaotic, or if the leaders overheat their tyres, don’t be shocked to see No.31 rolling the dice up front.
