– Wearing the colors of the Gresini team, Enea Bastianini achieved his fourth victory of the season, the first since the French Grand Prix.
– It was the tenth victory of the year for Ducati and the fourth double for the brand so far this season.
– After the difference of 0.034 that separated them in Misano, Enea Bastianini and Pecco Bagnaia were separated by 0.042 when crossing the finish line in the Aragón race, which is the second smallest advantage for a winning driver since 2019.
– Since the start of the season, Ducati has never missed a podium finish (and the streak extends to 21 consecutive races, including last season). In total, the brand has achieved 24 podium finishes this year, equaling its record set in 2021.
– With Pecco Bagnaia’s dominance in qualifying, Ducati has also achieved 12 pole positions this year, a new record for the manufacturer.
– If qualifying beyond pole is taken into account, Ducati is now unmistakable on the front row of the grid: this race is the 35th in a row in which at least one Desmosedici has been in the top three positions.
– And what is better, the Ducatis occupied the entire front row of the grid this weekend, as they did in Austin, Mugello, the Red Bull Ring and Misano.
All official MotorLand records have been broken
– Bagnaia improved his previous record by two and a half tenths with a time of 1’46.069 on pole.
– In the race it was Luca Marini who set the fastest lap, also a new record for this circuit (1’47″795) with an improvement of almost three tenths. It was the first time he did it in MotoGP.
– The top speed record was broken several times over the weekend, with Enea Bastianini’s 354.1 km/h setting the new benchmark. MotorLand becomes the fourth fastest circuit on the calendar, after Mugello (363.6 km/h), Losail (362.4 km/h) and Barcelona (355.2 km/h).
– Bagnaia led almost the entire race again, raising his number of laps led this year to 167. You have to go back to 2019 to find a driver who has done better, in the case of Marc Márquez, who had a record season. At this point in the championship, Bagnaia has led 45 laps.
– The total time of the race was also a new record, with 41’35″462, which is an improvement of nine and a half seconds compared to the reference that has been maintained since 2015!
