MotoGP Aragon GP: Live commentary and updates from MotorLand Aragon

Two rapid laps from Marc Marquez and he has now closed the gap to race leader Bezzecchi to just three tenths. And somehow, Pedro Acosta is keeping touch with the pair.

Bezzecchi has built a lead of seven tenths, with Marquez and Acosta in hot pursuit

Martin has dropped back to fifth, behind Gresini's Alex Marquez.

Big shouout to Pedro Acosta, who is running third and right on Marc Marquez's tail.

Order

1. Bezzecchi
2. M Marquez
3. Acosta
4. A Marquez
5. Martin
6. Fernandez
7. Bagnaia
8. Di Giannantonio
9. Aldeguer
10. Morbidelli

But Marquez isn't giving him. He repasses Jorge Martin with an aggressive move at the final turn to reclaim second.

Marc Marquez attempted the same move at the start but Marco Bezzecchi took the inside line and repassed him into Turn 2.

Jorge Martin has jumped from fifth on the grid to make it a 1-2 for Aprilia!

All riders have opted for medium soft and rear. No surprises there

The formation lap is underway!

While the focus is on Marco Bezzecchi and Marc Marquez, don't forget Alex Marquez and Jorge Martin. Both have the potential to spring a surprise today.

Five minutes until the formation lap begins. Hold on, folks! 

A reminder that Aprilia has never won at Aragon. Last year, the highest-placed RS-GP was Marco Bezzecchi in eighth!

We have to mention Johann Zarco. The Frenchman has been turning heads on his comeback this weekend, emerging as the top rider within the entire Honda contingent. He will take the start from ninth place today, but will have to serve a double long lap penalty after stewards penalised him for causing the very collision in which he broke his knee

Here's a look at the championship table heading to Aragon. With Marc Marquez looking strong and Ai Ogura absent, the picture could change considerably by the end of the race.

1. Martin 245
2. Bezzecchi 216
3. Marquez 212
4. Ogura 203
5. Di Giannantonio 199
6. Fernandez 186

Here is a look at the attendance figures for the Aragon GP

Pre-weekend: 24,917

Saturday: 39,644

Sunday: 51,181

Total: 115,742

The pitlane is open and riders are heading out on track. Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi has just arrived on the grid to line up on pole position. The race will start in exactly twenty minutes

But enough talk about the remainder of the campaign. Let's switch out focus back to the Aragon GP.
Marc Marquez outgunned polesitter Marco Bezzecchi on Saturday to win the sprint. Can he again surprise him at the start and score a record-extending ninth win (eighth in the premier class win) at Aragon today?

Of course, as Motorsport.com reported this weekend, Qatar GP is set to be cancelled, despite MotoGP SEG being hopeful the race will go ahead. That would leave us with nine rounds over 14 weekends, including today's Aragon GP.

But starting with today's Aragon GP, the championship goes into overdrive. We've got 10 races scheduled in the span of 14 weeks. This is when the second half of the season truly starts.

If you feel things had been awfully quiet in MotoGP land, you wouldn't be wrong. We only had two races in the last seven weekends.
