Argentina hosts the second round of the MotoGP at Termas de Rio Hondo, marking Marc Marquez’s return after six years. He aims for his 90th GP win, competing against Ducati. In India, viewing options include FanCode’s digital streaming and Eurosport’s television broadcasts, ensuring comprehensive access to the races at various price points.
The MotoGP event is set to take place in Argentina, marking the second round of the championship at the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit after a year. Notably, Marc Marquez, the championship leader, returns here for the first time in six years, hoping to secure his 90th Grand Prix victory, which would tie him with racing legend Angel Nieto. Marquez previously triumphed in this circuit during 2014, 2016, and 2019.
Wearing Argentina’s national football jersey, Marquez humorously noted, “I don’t dare. I got the jersey as a present from Ducati Argentina and I said I would arrive at the circuit wearing the jersey. But it has (to have) Marquez on the back… Messi is a big deal.” Ducati had a triumphant start in the Thailand GP, and expectations are high for them to maintain their performance in Argentina.
In terms of viewing options for fans in India, MotoGP will be available on the digital platform FanCode, which has acquired exclusive streaming rights from 2025 to 2027. They will provide live coverage of various sessions, including practice, qualifying, sprint races, and the main race, with prices set at Rs 49 per race or Rs 599 for the MotoGP Season Pass. Additionally, fans can opt for the combined F1 and MotoGP Pass for Rs 999.
For those preferring traditional television broadcasts, Eurosport India remains the official channel for MotoGP, having secured a three-year exclusive television rights deal effective until 2026. This agreement covers regions including India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Maldives, ensuring widespread access to the races.
The Argentina MotoGP is a highlight for fans, particularly with Marc Marquez’s anticipated return and the competitive spirit surrounding Ducati. Viewers in India can look forward to exclusive coverage through FanCode and Eurosport, offering multiple viewing options for this exciting sporting event. With costs accessible to both casual viewers and hardcore fans, MotoGP’s presence in India continues to grow.
