2010 Gran Premio de Aragón

S1, F13: A thrilling inaugural race in Aragon saw Champion Leader Jorge Lorenzo off the podium for the first time after a daring last lap overtake. Starting from pole Casey Stoner held his position going into the first turn, but usual rapid starter Pedrosa dropped to fifth as the riders bunched up in the tight opening curve. The Repsol Honda rider fought back in the early stages of the race however to climb to second behind Stoner, and the gap between the two fluctuated throughout. The pair were consistently fast for the duration of the race but Stoner managed to pull away towards the end as he achieved what was eventually a comfortable 25 points, with Pedrosa maintaining his good form in second. There were battles all the way through the field and none more entertaining than that between Hayden and Championship leader Lorenzo for the final podium spot. A fearless overtake on Lorenzo by Hayden on the final lap delivered the American the honours, and ended the Fiat Yamaha rider’s record of having placed on the rostrum at every race so far this season. Andrea Iannone took his third win of 2010 in Moto2 with another dominant win, securing victory from pole position by a margin of 6.203s. Pol Espargaro beat Nico Terol in a marvellous last-lap battle, as the 125cc Championship was blown wide open after Marc Márquez crashed out on lap one.
