Marc Marquez calms expectations for the MotoGP Argentina Grand Prix following a strong start to the season. He emphasizes the need for adaptability to changing track conditions while acknowledging his previous successes at the venue. Leading the championship by eight points, Marquez remains grounded and focused on continued performance.
Marc Marquez has sought to temper expectations for his performance at the upcoming MotoGP Argentina Grand Prix despite his strong start to the 2025 season. After securing pole position and a double victory at the Thai Grand Prix, the eight-time world champion has found himself at the top of the championship standings for the first time since 2019, leading many to anticipate further success at Termas de Rio Hondo.
Although Marquez previously won the Argentina Grand Prix by a substantial margin, he has not competed there since 2019. Despite the track’s past favorability, he remains cautious about potential outcomes. “Of course, we started in the best way possible in Thailand with the double victory. It was super important. Then I was at home; people talk a lot, but just we have the feet on the ground,” he remarked.
Marquez acknowledged the need for adaptability during the race weekend due to track conditions, emphasizing the importance of starting strong in practice. He said, “One of the main characteristics of this GP is during the GP the track changes, the grip of the track, and then you need to adapt your riding style a bit.” He expressed confidence in his Ducati’s capabilities under various conditions, particularly poor grip, stating, “Ducati, the bike balance is amazing. I like it, it’s working in every condition.”
Currently, Marquez leads his brother Alex Marquez by eight points in the championship standings. Given that both Argentina and the subsequent COTA round are typically strong venues for Marquez, he aims to capitalize on this early season opportunity to build a solid points lead. When asked about his leading position, he stated, “Feels good. I feel relaxed, comfortable… But still 21 races to go, so we need to keep going.”
Marc Marquez is approaching the MotoGP Argentina Grand Prix with a balanced mindset, acknowledging past successes while remaining cautious of future performances. His strong start in the season and current championship lead positions him favorably, yet Marquez emphasizes the importance of adapting to race conditions and maintaining focus as the season progresses. His confidence in the Ducati motorcycle and team dynamics will be critical as he aims to maximize his potential in upcoming races.
