Fabio Quartararo will be determined to end his four-race winless run and clinch the
Aragon Grand Prix title for the first time.
The Yamaha rider endured a disappointing race at last year's Aragon MotoGP as he finished eighth having started third on the grid.
Quartararo has failed to win the last four races including the recent San Marino MotoGP on September 4 - finishing fifth.

The 23-year-old was right behind Ducati rider Luca Marini, eyeing up fourth place and he came tantalizingly close but ultimately finished fifth, 5.771s from first.
Ducati rider Francesco Bagnaia won the San Marino MotoGP with Enea Bastianini of Ducati and Aprilia's Maverick Vinales finishing second and third respectively.
Despite his recent poor form, Quartararo is still placed at the top of the 2022 riders' standings as he looks to retain the MotoGP world title.
By winning the Aragon MotoGP, Quartararo will open a gap at the top of the standings with six races left in the current campaign.
"It was a tough race," Quartararo, who is the first French World Champion in the premier class' history, said after the San Marino MotoGP.
"But it was actually one of the first races that I was behind another bike without a problem of the front tyre overheating or the front tyre pressure.
"I had more or less the same pace I had during practice. Of course, behind a rival I was struggling a bit more to make my pace than when riding alone," he added.
"This fifth place is the position we deserved today. I had nothing more to give."
Ducati are placed at the top of the Constructors' championship standings and they are followed by Yamaha and Aprilia respectively.
