The 2025 Argentina Grand Prix returns from March 14-16 after a year absence. Marc Marquez seeks to keep his championship lead following wins in Thailand. Pecco Bagnaia aims to recover from past challenges while Alex Marquez is poised for podium contention. Jorge Martin continues to miss races due to injury. The event promises excitement amid various team dynamics.
The 2025 MotoGP season is well underway with the second round taking place from March 14-16 at the Argentina Grand Prix in Termas de Rio Hondo. This event marks its return after being absent last year due to governmental budget cuts in Argentina.
Marc Marquez arrives at this event aiming to continue his impressive streak following his recent victories in Thailand, where he secured pole position in both races. This performance has catapulted him to the top of the championship standings, marking his first lead since 2019.
Ducati’s Pecco Bagnaia faces a challenging weekend as he seeks to recover from a disappointing outing in Thailand. Bagnaia acknowledges he understands his previous race issues but remains discreet about the specifics. On the other hand, Alex Marquez from Gresini Racing is anticipated to be a strong contender again, sitting in second place with two recent second-place finishes.
Notably absent from the grid is defending champion Jorge Martin, who is still recuperating from an injury and has confirmed he will also miss the upcoming Americas GP. In recent years, Aprilia has shown promising results at this venue, making it an exciting prospect for their riders, including Marco Bezzecchi, who previously achieved his debut victory here in 2023.
With rookie Ai Ogura also entering the weekend with momentum, Aprilia appears poised for success. Furthermore, the performance of Honda and Yamaha, both of which showed competitiveness in Thailand, will be evaluated at the lower-grip track in Argentina, while KTM seeks to improve upon a challenging start to the season.
FP1 for the 2025 Argentina Grand Prix is scheduled to commence at 1:45 PM GMT, with practice following at 6 PM GMT. As the anticipation grows for today’s sessions, there is significant focus on the absence of MotoGP champion Jorge Martin and the unfolding competition between the active riders.
The anticipation for the 2025 Argentina Grand Prix is high, especially with Marc Marquez’s strong start to the season and the return of this event after a hiatus. Although Jorge Martin remains sidelined, other competitors like Alex Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia are under scrutiny as they seek to enhance their standings. Furthermore, Aprilia’s promising potential and the performance of other teams will be critical in this weekend’s races, set against the unique challenges of the Argentinian track.
