Marc Marquez and Ducati wins Argentina GP
It’s a great season start for Marc Marquez and Ducati as they grabbed the chequered flag on this weekend’s Argentina Grand Prix. Marquez, a six-time MotoGP champion in his first season as a Ducati rider, also won the 2025 MotoGP season opener in Thailand.
“The race pace was incredible, and we had a few moments to go in the final laps. Alex pushed me to the limit: we were both able to lap in the low 1’38s, and we really made a difference. It wasn’t easy to overtake him, as the only spot was at turn five. The first time I tried, I ended up wide, but then I was able to make it stick at the second attempt as I was a lot closer to him. I’m happy for my team as they did an incredible job,” says Marquez.
Márquez had a great start from pole position but was overtaken by his brother Alex during lap four. Marc managed to retake the lead with five laps to go and pulled away in the final stages. Bagnaia had an excellent start from row two as he entered turn one in third place, which he lost on lap four courtesy of Morbidelli and was unable to get back.
As the second GP of the season draws to a close, Márquez still holds a perfect score with 74 points, while Bagnaia is third and 31 points in arrears. The Ducati Lenovo Team leads the teams’ standings with 117 points, with Ducati on top of the manufacturers’ standings (74 points).
The next race on the calendar will take place at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas.
