Rossi: Marquez has taken 'big step' to 2017 MotoGP title

Marc Marquez took a "big step" towards the 2017 MotoGP title with victory at Aragon, according to Valentino Rossi. Marquez's fifth win of the season has given him a lead of 16 points in the championship over Andrea Dovizioso, with whom he was tied prior to the weekend. The Honda rider has won four of the last six races, finished second at the Red Bull Ring after a final-lap battle and was among the contenders at Silverstone before his engine failed. Rossi believes his Yamaha team-mate Maverick Vinales and Ducati's Dovizioso, Marquez's main rivals, will struggle to stop him from now on. "I think the championship now, for the opponents, is very difficult," Rossi said. "[Marquez's Aragon win is a] very big step.

MotoGP Aragon: Rivals hail 'incredible' Rossi performance

After returning on Friday, just 22 days after breaking his tibia and fibula in a training accident, Rossi stunned with third in Saturday's qualifying - his best ever grid start at the Spanish circuit - despite doctors predicting he would be out for 30-40 days. More heroics followed in the race, where the Movistar Yamaha rider and his recently pinned leg held second place until the middle stages, in the wheeltracks of leader Jorge Lorenzo. Rossi went on to finish fifth, 5.8s from victory but just half-a-second behind team-mate and pole sitter Maverick Vinales. "It was already incredible to be here after this kind of fracture. I think nobody had done it," said race winner Marc Marquez, who needed several attempts to pass Rossi in the race.
