Everything happens at Motorland Aragon in a Saturday with a bitter taste for Aruba.it Racing – Ducati with Bautista crashing when he was in the lead.
Starting from second position, Alvaro Bautista immediately took the lead and seemed able to build a solid margin over Rea (Kawasaki) and Razgatlioglu (Yamaha).
With a lead of almost a second, on lap six the Spanish rider loses the front at Turn 8 and the result is a crash.
Alvaro rejoins the race, and makes up positions but in an attempt to grab twelfth place, he crashes again at the last corner.

“It is not a happy day because of the crash. I admit it was my fault, I made a mistake. But that doesn’t change the perception of an extremely good feeling with the bike. Right from the first few laps, I felt I had great confidence and I even took a bit of a lead. The final crash? I tried to make up positions to take some points also because I was enjoying riding. Maybe I went too far. It’s a lesson I learned and it’s always important to learn from mistakes”.
