There was a great atmosphere this Saturday at Motorland Aragon, the riders of the Aragon Grand Prix fought for the poles under the watchful eye of the fans. After a morning full of adrenaline, they still had enough energy to go to the Fan Zone to enjoy interviews, music with DJ, photos and merchandising for all the fans who came there from 16:00 to 18:00 in the afternoon.
The first FP3 of the morning
The day started very interestingly at the circuit in Alcañiz, Aleix Espargaró lead the Aragón Grand Prix FP1 time classification session despite suffering a crash without consequences and some problems with his Aprilia in the final moments of the practice. Pecco Bagnaia and Álex Rins completed the Top 3, less than a tenth of a second behind the Catalan driver.
Mikel Azcona, current leader of the World Touring Car Cup, has to make a great comeback in order to continue leading the WTCR Championship. The Biscay native starts from eighth position on the starting grid for the Race of Spain at MotorLand Aragón, as his best lap today (02'06.227) was not among the top five in Q2. His Hyundai teammate, Norbert Michelisz, did not beat him by a single hundredth and qualified in ninth place.
Record pole position for Gilles Magnus, first on the grid for Sunday's race.
Great atmosphere this afternoon at the Pit Walk of the Motorland Aragon circuit, a walk through the boxes, which the fans appreciated very much.
