Fans are expecting the Aragon GP to create excitement as MotoGP fans have missed it after a dull outing in Austria. Currently, the riders are awaiting the newly resurfaced track and an extra choice of Michelin rear tires which guarantee an impressive number of entertaining performances. The anticipation is fuelled by recalling some past duels such as Marc Marquez against Andrea Dovizioso and more so KTM’s of Miguel Oliveira that clinched a spectacular last-corner victory in 2020. Aragon GP is rapidly coming closer and all attention is on the riders to see who is going to triumph on this track.
Rider Luca Marini who had to spend most of the Austrian GP in the Repsol Honda garage avoiding a technical issue in the race weigh-in shared his thoughts on the race. He was right, for instance, Marini pronounced it ‘Boring!’ this sentiment echoed what many fans felt about the second series. He also said that the nature of the Red Bull Ring limited the ability of the riders to stay within a certain distance of the one in front, which resulted in a professional race in which overtaking was rare.
Looking forward to an Enticing Aragon GP
After the race from Portugal has been quite boring, there are expectations that the show will pick up this weekend on the Aragon GP circuit. The Spanish course, which has not staged a race in the last year, boasts a relatively diverse track characteristic by different types of corners that can help to reduce the gap and provide more overtakes. The 5. While the Austrian GP track is quite symmetrical and short with only a few types of turns, the 5.077km circuit offers a big variation of corners and challenges a rider and his bike differently.
Looking at history Aragon GP expected that it could provide the desired chili that was lacking in Austria. The two most recent races on this Aragon Gp were the race to the wire, separated only by a few tenths of seconds; he managed to get third place in one and fourth in the other. This is what the fans want to see and there are high expectations that the Aragon GP of this year will also be the same.
The Challenge of Close Racing
Luca Marini, reflecting on the dynamics of the Austrian GP, highlighted the difficulties riders face when trying to race closely at certain tracks. Marini stated that
It’s because it’s very difficult for all of the riders to keep a close gap with the rider in front of you, because of tyre temperature, brake temperature, etc. And then when you follow another rider [closely], it’s more difficult to stop the bike. So you can see that every rider is more than a 1-second gap to the other.
Another point to be discussed was that in car racing the start as well as the first lap plays specific significance as it defines the further actions of the participants. However, the characteristics of the Aragon circuit could provide more chances of overtaking during the race so spectators can enjoy it till the end of the race.
Past Showdowns and Future Prospects
Austria has had its moments of excitement, such as the memorable battles between Marc Marquez and Andrea Dovizioso. Marini acknowledged the intensity of these past duels, noting, Marini shared;
Yeah, because they were Dovi and Marc. Two manufacturers fighting for the title, one against another, Marini said.
However, he also likes to mention the fact that one manufacturer, Ducati, is recently ruling supreme, and thus, such diverse battles have become rather rare to watch. MotoGP has not always been predictable and produced moments like the last-turn victory that KTM’s Miguel Oliveira enjoyed in the restarted 2020 Austrian GP at the Red Bull Ring. Before flying out for Aragon, there are some potential game changers: a brand new track surface and an extra rear Michelin tire, which makes an already unpredictable race even more so.
