As first corners go at the start of a MotoGP™ race, MotorLand Aragon’s is one of the trickiest. 22 fire-breathing premier class machines and 22 determined riders are going to pile into the 45-degree left-hander on Sunday at the Gran Premio Michelin® de Aragon, which didn’t end well for last season’s polesitter.

A fast-starting Ducati in the form of Jack Miller (Pramac Racing) will also be looking to gain places heading into Turn 1, making the start of the Aragon GP a tasty affair.
