WATCH: Marc Marquez back to winning ways after 1043 days hiatus at Aragon GP

In a remarkable display of resilience and skill, Marc Marquez secured his first victory in over 1000 days at the Gran Premio GoPro de Aragon on Sunday. The triumph marks a monumental comeback for Marquez, who had been sidelined for nearly 1043 days due to multiple surgeries, team changes, and a prolonged absence from the top step of the podium.

The Aragon GP showcased Marquez’s undeniable prowess as he dominated from the get-go. After a victorious start in Saturday’s Tissot Sprint, where he also exhibited a commanding performance, Marquez continued to impress in the main event.

The victory was not just a win but a significant milestone for Marquez, who had last celebrated a Grand Prix win in 2021. His return to form was underlined by his jubilant celebration post-race. Marquez took a victory lap, enthusiastically hopping off his bike to kiss the ground and perform an impromptu dance, much to the delight of his home fans.

The win at Aragon is a testament to Marquez's enduring skill and determination. His victory came amidst a season full of challenges, including a crash that saw double-world champion Francesco Bagnaia drop out of contention five laps from the end. Meanwhile, Jorge Martin remains the leader in the riders' standings, holding a 23-point advantage despite the day's events.
