Pol Espargaro was second fastest for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, two tenths off Iannone after 54 laps as the Austrian factory continue plowing through their impressive workload on the way to 2018 – with new chassis, swingarms, comparisons and setups to work through for their sophomore season. Teammate Bradley Smith was fifth quickest, putting in 49 laps with a best of 1:38.688. Source link

9 reasons why 2016 could have been the best ever!

At MotorLand Aragon, 2006 MotoGP™ World Champion Nicky Hayden stepped in at EG0,0 Marc VDS to sub for injured Jack Miller – meaning there were 28 World Championships lining up to go racing in the Aragon GP. One for Hayden, nine for Rossi, five for Lorenzo, four for Marquez, three for Pedrosa and another slew courtesy of Alvaro Bautista, Tito Rabat, Stefan Bradl, Pol Espargaro, Maverick Viñales and Andrea Dovizioso - star-studded by anyone’s reckoning!
