ALCAÑIZ, Spain (AP) — Francesco Bagnaia has fended off a late charge by Marc Márquez to win the Aragón GP for his first MotoGP victory. Bagnaia and Márquez exchanged positions at the top a few times in the final laps but the Italian held on after Márquez went wide off the track in the final meters at the Motorland track. Joan Mir finished in third place. The 24-year-old Bagnaia is in his third season in MotoGP.  He is the eighth different winner of the season. Championship leader Fabio Quartararo finished eighth to see his championship lead to Bagnaia drop to 53 points.
