Marc Marquez has to be considered the favourite for this weekends Moto2 class win in Aragon.
Not only did he win last year‰Ûªs Moto2 race, but he has also won five of the last six Moto2 races this season. That stretch, along with two wins from earlier in the season and a host of other podium finishes, have boosted his championship lead to 53 points with five races remaining.
The track is close to his home, which he is certain will draw his growing legion of supporters, as well as friends and family, to motivate him.
‰ÛÏMotorLand Aragon is a track which went rather well for me last year and at which I felt very comfortable." said Marques. "Let‰Ûªs hope that it is the same this time.
"We‰Ûªll try to keep calm and have a good weekend in front of the fans. This track has a very technical first section, but the final sector is also very tricky. It is a circuit where you need to be good at cornering." added the Team Catalunya Caixa Repsol Suter racer.
The circuit is very close to Lleida, so I am sure that my friends, family and supporters will be coming along and that I will give my all to get the best result possible.‰Û
