It was the day that two great World Champions performed on the same stage but unfortunately not in the same race. It was the closest that MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez and World Superbike Champion Jonathan Rea came to the head to the head of all confrontations in a World Championship showdown. After finishing eighth in his first race on the Repsol Honda at Misano won by Jorge Lorenzo he came to Aragon. It was a crucial 21 lap race as he closed in on the Moto2™ World Championship before replacing Stoner in MotoGP™ the next year. Third place in the race went to Scott Redding who ironically finished second to Rea in this year’s World Superbike contest. Marquez with eight World titles and 82 Grand Prix wins versus Rea with six World titles and 99 race victories.
