Honda rider Marc Márquez will be keen to win the Aragon
Grand Prix for the sixth time in his illustrious career this weekend.
The Spanish superstar has won a record five Aragon MotoGP titles, but he could not take part in last year's race due to an injury.
Marquez was forced to retire from the most recent race in the current season after he clattered into Jorge Martin of Ducati at the British MotoGP on August 29.

Fabio Quartararo of Yamaha won the British MotoGP, while Alex Rins of Suzuki and Aprilia's Aleix Espargaro finished second and third respectively.
Quartararo is still placed at the top of the Riders' standings and he is the favourite to win this year's MotoGP world title.
Suzuki rider Joan Mir and Ducati's Johann Zarco are placed second and third respectively on the standings heading into this weekend's race.
Marquez is placed 12th on the standings and he will be determined to move into the top eight bracket by winning the Aragon MotoGP.

"I want to apologise to Martin because it was completely my fault. I was too optimistic on that overtake," Marquez said after the British MotoGP.
"It’s true that it was a strange situation because [Fabio] Quartararo and Martin went wide, very wide, and I expect that Martin was more out. And what I did was just prepare the corner, and then I put the bike straight because I didn’t have time to change to second gear.
“My mistake, I apologise to Martin, to the Pramac team. But races are sometimes like this and today it was my mistake.”
Yamaha are placed at the top of Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Ducati and KTM respectively.
