Máximo Quiles won Sunday morning (the 30th) the Aragón Grand Prix, the 13th round of the 2026 Moto3 season. In one of the most balanced races, the rider on bike number 28 for Aspar engaged in a tight battle with David Almansa at MotorLand, the circuit located in the Spanish city of Alcañiz, to win for the seventh time this year, extending his lead in the championship.
The second position went to Almansa, Intact GP rider who led for most of the race, but finished 0.264 seconds behind Quiles. Marco Morelli, on another Aspar bike, completed the podium in third, followed by Álvaro Carpe, fourth for Ajo after contending with the lead group until the final laps. Brian Uriarte, also with Ajo, finished fifth.
Adrián Cruces, aboard a CIP bike, closed the fight in sixth place, finishing just ahead of Casey O’Gorman, seventh with a SIC58 machine. Valentín Perrone, from Tech3, crossed the line eighth, while Guido Pini and Adrián Fernández, both riders for Leopard Racing, completed the top 10 of the race.
The race saw a number of crashes. Nicola Carraro crashed on the opening lap in Aragón, while Cormac Buchanan suffered a heavy crash on the fourth lap, being taken off on a stretcher. A lap later, at turn 17, Jesús Ríos left the race after crashing his bike. On the final lap, Rico Salmela crashed at turn 7.
Following the Aragón Grand Prix, Quiles reached 256 points and remains at the championship lead with a wide margin over his rivals. Carpe is in second place with 159 points, 97 behind the leader, while Almansa completes the podium with 154 points after 13 rounds.
Moto3 resumes on September 11, 12 and 13 with the San Marino Grand Prix, a race scheduled for the Misano circuit in Italy.
