Here's what happened in the junior class races at Motorland Aragon.
In Moto 2, Tito Rabat held off the challenges of Alex Rins and Sam Lowes, to score the victory. The aforementioned Rins and Lowes, rounded out the podium places, while Jonas Folger and Tom Luthi completed the top five. In sixth through tenth, the finishing riders were Johann Zarco (who appears to be on his way to a Moto 2 championship), Hafizh Syahrin, Takaaki Nakagami, Simone Corsi, and Lorenzo Baldassari.

23 riders in total were classified at the finish of the Moto2 race. Unlucky retirees from the event included Federico Fuligni, Alex Marquez, Julian Simon, Edgar Pons, Xavier Simeon, Luis Salom, and Dominique Aegerter (someone who is a lot farther up the order, usually), was caboose on the field.
In the Moto 3 race, Miguel Oliveira wins his second career Moto3 event, and his second race of 2015. Oliveira was joined on the podium in the entry level class by his fellow Spaniard, the rapidly improving Jorge Navarro, and Romano Fenati. Efren Vazquez and Philipp Oettl round out the top five. Niccolo Antonelli headed up the back half of the top ten, in sixth, followed by Jorge Martin, Alexis Masbou, Andrea Migno and Hiroki Ono.

27 riders in the large Moto3 field were classified finishers. Retirements were significant, including Brad Binder, Danny Kent (who is all but crowned this year's Moto3 champ, and will move to MotoGP next year, bypassing Moto2 altogether), Enea Bastianini (another really competitive rider as of late), Karel Hanika, Manuel Pagliani, Zulfahmi Khairuddin, Isaac Vinales, and, caboose on the field was Brad Binder's brother, Darryn Binder. Not a good race in Aragon, for the Binder brothers.
Next up for Moto2 and Moto3, along with their MotoGP counterparts, are the flyaway races, to close out the 2015 season. They begin, with Japan, at the Twin Ring Motegi circuit, in two weeks.
