Aprilia have climbed on the podium ten times in Aragon and are second only to Kawasaki in this area: their last podium came two years ago with Leon Haslam, third in Race 2. Last year the best result for Aprilia here was an eighth place, recorded by Alex de Angelis in Race 2.
Aprilia won two MotorLand Aragon races thanks to Max Biaggi: the second 2011 one and the first in 2012.
BMW are one of the three manufacturers who won three times in Aragon with Kawasaki and Ducati. Marco Melandri won Race 2 in 2012 and Chaz Davies scored the double the following year. Last year their best result over the weekend was 5th from Jordi Torres in Race 2.
Up to 2014, Ducati had struggled for results here: they had recorded only two third places out of eight races, but fortunes changed with the arrival of Chaz Davies, who was able to climb on the podium four times, winning three races in the last two weekends held here.
Davies won Race 2 in 2015 and recorded the double last year. Despite Daviesâ success, Ducati are yet to start from pole here: their best grid spot is a second place in the 2015 weekend (Davies).
Honda finished on the podium here only once at Aragon, with a third from Jonathan Rea in the first 2014 race: last year their best result was a sixth from Nicky Hayden in Race 1. The best qualifying spot for a Honda bike here is a fifth, recorded by Jonathan Rea in 2014.
With four podium places last year, Kawasaki became the manufacturer with the most podiums at this track, 12 to Apriliaâs 10. Kawasaki won three times here: a double 1-2 finish at MotorLand in 2014 (Sykes-Baz), while two years ago they won the first Race (Rea).
In both last yearâs races the two works Kawasakiâs finished in 2nd and 3rd behind Chaz Davies. In the lst three races held here, a works Kawasaki always finished second to Davies in the races (Rea-Rea-Sykes).
Thanks to Tom Sykes, Kawasaki is the only manufacturer with more than one pole start here: Sykes recorded pole four times at Aragon for the Japanese manufacturer (2012 to 2014 and last year). Since 2012 there has always been a Kawasaki on the front row of the starting grid at Aragon.
In 2011, with Marco Melandri, Yamaha managed a win from pole in Race 1 and a second place in Race 2. Last year they returned to this track after an absence of four years and their best result was an eighth by Alex Lowes in Race 1.
MV Agusta scored points here two years ago with a 10th and a 15th from Leon Camier. Last year their best result was a 16th in Race 2.
