Oddsmakers are prediciting that MotoGP series leader Francesco Bagnaia will be continuing his winning ways at the latest stop on the circuit, the Gran Premio De Aragon. However, Bagnaia is projecting a four-rider battle in the bid to be the first across the finish line.
Italy’s Bagnaia sees himself, Spain’s Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez and Italian countryman Enea Bastianini as all offering the legitimate potential to be the one that takes the checkered flag in this race.
Indeed, those four riders are the ones holding down the top four placings in the betting odds for the MotoGP Gran Premio De Aragon. Bagnaia is the +125 favorite. Martin is next at +300. You can access +350 odds on Marquez and +550 on Bastianini, the reigning champion on this circuit. No other rider is being given a betting line shorter than +1600.

The MotoGP circuit is returning to Aragon after skipping this stop in 2023. The track has been given a new asphalt surface since the last MotoGP race here in 2022. How might that impact the race, and therefore, the betting odds?
Saturday qualifying will be followed by the 11-lap sprint, with the 23-lap main event race set for Sunday at 8 a.m. EST around the 17-turn, 3.15-mile MotorLand Aragon layout. Remember, the odds could change based upon the results of the qualifying round and the sprint race, so it’s always wise to track the early outcomes and see which riders are holding hot hands and are the best for you to bet.

Following an underwhelming performance at Silverstone in which he finished in third place in the British Grand Prix, Bagnaia was back to his old, successful self at the Austrian Grand Prix. The Italian rider dominated the weekend, sweeping both the Saturday sprint and Sunday race.
The double victory served to vault Bagnaia back to the top of the MotoGP season standings. He’s five points clear of second-place Martin. Bagnaia is now the -325 odds-on chalk to reign for the third successive season as champion in the MotoGP Championship future market.
With the Austrian win, Bagnaia now has 25 career victories in MotoGP racing. Will No. 26 be coming at Aragon? Bagnaia did win here previously in 2021. If so, it will serve as a recond-setting performance. Bagnaia has equaled the season mark he set last year by posting his seventh victory through the first 11 stops on the MotoGP circuit. He’d break his own record with a win at Aragon.
Spaniard Martin is obviously a believer in the age-old theory that to the steady goes the race. He hasn’t visited the winner’s circle since his victory at Le Mans on the Bugatti Circuit in the Grand Prix of France on May 12.
Yet Martin’s solid run of podium finishes is keeping him in the hunt for the overall MotoGP Championship. He was second to Bagnaia in both the sprint and race at Austria. That was his third second in four races and fourth in six events. But Martin shows just two wins on his race card and that makes it difficult to place a win wager on this rider. On top of that, he’s never won a MotoGP race on the Aragon circuit.
Six times, legendary MotoGP rider Marquez has come out the victor at Aragon. No one has won more often on this course.
Marquez is the one rider who’s proven capable of keeping pace with the factory Ducatis, even though the Ducati he rides for Gresini Racing is a 2023 model. The eight-time MotoGP world champion is of the opinion that the factory Ducatis can be beaten. However, he believes it will take a perfect race in order to do so.
The winner at Silverstone, Italian rider and Bagnaia’s Ducati Lenovo teammate Bastianini was back on the podium in Austria thanks to his third-place finish. That performance was also keeping him third overall in the season standings.
Bastianini won at Aragon the last time MotoGP raced here in 2022, so that stands him in good stead heading into this year’s race. The racing is generally tight around the Aragon circuit. That was how Bastianini won the Britsh Grand Prix. Duking it out with Martin for the lead, he managed to pounce on a Martin braking mistake to dive past him into the lead.
On the new asphalt at Aragon, it may very well come down to which team gets the tires right first to determine a winner. As much as Marquez knows this circuit like the back of his hand and it would be romantic to back the Spaniard for a win on home soil, the fact of the matter is he hasn’t won a MotoGP race in three years.
Each week it seems that Martin is either willing to settle for podium finishes, or makes a vital error to cost himself a win. And he hasn’t won at Aragon.
That brings us to a battle betwen the last two winners, defending champion Bastianini and 2021 winner Bagnaia. The latter was second to Bastianini in the 2022 race, so we’ll lean toward his consistency. And that 2021 win was his first as a MotoGP rider, so what better locale for Bagnaia to set the single-season MotoGP win record?
