2017 Aragon MotoGP FP4 Result: Viñales Mugs The Hondas

Submitted by Zara Daniela on

The sun finally shining down on Motorland Aragon must have looked inviting for the premier class gang, with some race trimmings to be found. The first few minutes saw Valentino Rossi leading briefly, Alvaro Bautista sliding out after getting too comfortable with Dani Pedrosa’s rear tyre and Marc Marquez joining Cal Crutchlow in various gravel traps around the track.

Their Honda colleague was more well-behaved and Pedrosa sat at the top of the timesheets for most of the session. The Spaniard continued to improve throughout FP4, his time only bettered by a final lap on soft tyres from Maverick Viñales. The Yamaha rider looked in pretty bad nick at the start of the session but once he ditched his old used medium tyres he was right back at the top.

2017 Aragon Moto2 FP3 Result: Morbidelli Gets One Back On Pasini

Submitted by Zara Daniela on

With the tiniest bit of experience on a dry Motorland Aragon from Friday afternoon, there was more consistency in the hierarchy of the intermediate class. Surprising no one, world championship leader Franco Morbidelli planted his flag at the top of the timesheets as soon as he hit the track.

FP2 leader Mattia Pasini was the only rider not to improve on his Friday time straight away, the Italian testing some new aero developments. Unconcerned with the issue, the Italtrans rider instantly found some speed in the final fifteen minutes to head straight to the top of the timesheets and relegate Morbidelli to second in a repeat of FP2. Unlike FP2, Morbidelli retaliated on the very last lap and snuck ahead by a mere hundredth of a second.

2017 Aragon MotoGP FP3 Result: Dress Rehearsal For Marquez

Submitted by Zara Daniela on

Saturday morning saw the first fully dry session for the premier class, a welcome sight after the tricky and setup-irrelevant Friday. A little mist was still in the air and the extra bit of confidence on fresh slick tyres saw more crashes than in the previous rain-ridden practice sessions, the likes of Sam Lowes and Johann Zarco testing the gravel traps early into the session. Their colleagues had no problem going ten seconds faster than Friday right away but were about a second away from the circuit record after their race runs on the medium rear tyre.

Usually fast out the box, Marc Marquez led the field after the first run and it took until the qualifying dummy run of the final ten minutes for that lead to be challenged. After a slow and steady start, Andrea Dovizioso found himself behind his main title rival on their hot laps and stole his lead in the final five minutes. Marquez replied on the very next lap to go half a second faster and never relinquished that position again.

Submitted by Zara Daniela on

After the Friday washout, the paddock would have been relieved to see that a bit of mist was all they had to contend with this morning.  Jorge Martin was one to welcome the dry conditions most, the Spaniard finally able and willing to run for the entire length of the session. The Gresini rider led the beginning of the session and bookended his morning by taking back the lead on his final lap in full qualifying trim.

With actual sunshine being back for the start of the Moto2 session, it was the first real dry session of the weekend. Occasional spits of rain did return but the intermediate class was not intimidated and continued to drop their times throughout the session.

2017 Aragon MotoGP FP2 Result: Pedrosa Goes Swimming(ly)

Submitted by Zara Daniela on

Once again the weather screwed with the premier class, the sunshine that covered the Moto3 session mixing with spots of rain in the kickoff of FP2. That meant the first few minutes of the session were lost to setup changes and tyre swaps, only a handful of riders going around straight away on rain tyres.

The title contenders were cautious, first Valentino Rossi then Maverick Viñales and Marc Marquez joining the track ten minutes into the session. Andrea Dovizioso and Dani Pedrosa bided their time a bit more while watching their rivals kicking up significant spray.
