MotoGP in Motorland: Track & statistics for the 2025 Aragon GP

The MotoGP circuit will be at Motorland Aragon next weekend. Of the four Spanish circuits on the Grand Prix calendar, the circuit in the middle of nowhere is the newest. We've compiled all the information and key statistics for you.

Designed and built by F1 monopolist Hermann Tilke, Motorland Aragon opened in 2009. The first motorcycle race took place the following year. Originally not on the racing calendar, the track stood in as a replacement for the Hungarian Balatonring, which was never built. Since then, the race has established itself as the fourth Spanish stop after Jerez, Barcelona, ​​and Valencia, and has appeared on the MotoGP calendar every year except for 2023.

At 5.078 kilometers long, the track ranks solidly in the middle of the pack among circuits. The track has a total of 17 corners (10 left-hand and 7 right-hand turns) and features the longest straight, at 968 meters, between turns 15 and 16. A varied combination of corners characterizes the track in the first and second sectors. The sharpest corners are the two left-hand turns 5 and 9, but they don't represent the hardest braking points on the track, as both are preceded by a less sharp corner.

In the third sector, only power counts. The longest straight is followed by an open and wide double left-hand combination that leads the drivers onto the 630-meter-long start/finish straight. A characteristic feature of the track is a rock wall, in front of which the drivers emerge between turns 12 and 13. This spot is a popular subject for photographers. Also extremely well-known is the so-called 'Reverse Corkscrew', a downhill chicane modeled after the one at Laguna Seca.

The most successful rider on the track is Marc Marquez . The Ducati rider has finished on the top MotoGP podium in Aragon a total of six times, surpassing his most successful rivals, Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner, who each took two wins in 2017. Marquez's last victory in Aragon was in 2024 – a highly emotional triumph, as it was his first in the premier class after a 1,043-day wait. Previous winners at Motorland were Alex Rins (2020), Francesco Bagnaia (2021), and Enea Bastianini (2020), making it the last four different winners in a row – five if you include the 2020 Teruel GP with Franco Morbidelli.
