Rubbing elbows at 200 mph: See the dramatic dogfight at MotoGP Aragon GP
One of the major talking points of the Aragon Grand Prix was the dramatic dogfight between Franco Morbidelli and Fermin Aldeguer. The pair sparred over several laps, even having contact on the back straight during their attempts to gain track position. These professionals weren't racing for the lead — this was for 5th, and it was epic. Morbidelli described what was happening mentally in the heat of the moment. Advertisement "Pure adrenaline was going through my head," said Morbidelli. "You could spill it in a shot, I could make you an adrenaline drink at that moment of the race! "It was a sketchy race. I was struggling big time. Especially in the first half of the race I wasn't feeling comfortable looks like this weekend we improved the new tyre on one lap but actually in the beginning of the race. I wasn't having the potential I was expecting, I wasn't having the feeling I was expecting and I risked crashing three times, two bigs ones. One in turn 9 and another in turn 10 so I'm really happy that I was able to bring the bike home even more in P5 because in the end I found myself fighting for P5 with Fermin. "It was a really nice battle, he had great potential at the end and I'm pleased that I could get the best of him but he was really strong. It felt similar to Marc [Marquez] battle at Silverstone, the difference is that with Marc I couldn't beat him. This time with Fermin I could, but he was really strong." When asked if there had been more problems compared to Saturday's sprint race where he finished fourth, Morbidelli claimed nothing had changed. Advertisement "Yesterday was the same," said Morbidelli. "At the beginning of the race, I was struggling big time. We were all expecting something better from yesterday's race and today's race but somehow I couldn't have a good speed in the beginning of the race. Today I was risking big time and I almost crashed three times so I said it's better to bring it home."
