Marc Marquez spoke about needing to take risks for the Aragon Grand Prix races, but he required nothing of the sort for a simple Saturday sprint win.
The nine-time champion jumped from second place to first at Turn 1, passing pole sitter Marco Bezzecchi with ease before building an impressive one-second gap for victory.
Behind him was his brother Alex, with Bezzecchi finishing third as he continues to struggle with knee pain from his Germany injuries.
Luckily for him, he didn’t fall back any further as Aprilia teammate and championship leader Jorge Martin was involved in an almighty tussle for fourth just behind with Pedro Acosta.
He lost out, and will continue a damage limitation weekend at the top of the standings.

Fabio Di Giannantonio also saw his faint title hopes take another blow, crashing out unprovoked on lap three.
Meanwhile, injury returnees Fermin Aldeguer and Johann Zarco impressed in sixth and ninth respectively.
Ai Ogura is missing the race weekend through injury, and the sprint result means that Marquez leapfrogs him in the riders' standings up to third.
