The six-time world champion initially lost the lead to his brother Alex Marquez but reclaimed it with four laps remaining. This victory reinforces Marc’s position as the leading contender in this year’s championship, with four wins that include two sprints and two grands prix.
Alex Marquez displayed impressive performance by leading portions of the race but ultimately settled for second place, maintaining a perfect record of runner-up finishes thus far in 2025.

However, Marco Bezzecchi encountered a setback, losing control and crashing into a gravel trap, which also affected Fabio Quartararo, though he continued the race.
Franco Morbidelli of VR46 Ducati made significant strides, overtaking Bagnaia and securing third place after utilizing a softer rear tire strategy. His successful tire management allowed him to achieve his first podium since the 2021 Spanish Grand Prix, while Bagnaia struggled to find a way past him.
Alex Marquez executed a successful pass on Marc early in the race, but Marc ultimately regained the position with an impressive maneuver on lap 22, establishing a lead that he maintained for the remainder of the race. Crossed the line 1.362 seconds ahead of Alex, Marc is now leading the championship by 16 points.
The final standings saw Morbidelli and Bagnaia following the Marquez siblings, while Fabio di Giannantonio completed the top five. Other notable positions included Brad Binder in seventh and Ai Ogura, who climbed from fifteenth to eighth. MotoGP’s Argentina Grand Prix results showcased intense competition among the riders in a challenging but exhilarating race.
In conclusion, Marc Marquez’s consistent performance this season has solidified his status as a leading competitor in the 2025 MotoGP championship. With four consecutive victories, including the latest at the Argentina Grand Prix, he has demonstrated both skill and strategic racing. Meanwhile, Alex Marquez’s impressive efforts underline the competitive nature of this season, and as the championship progresses, the dynamics among the top riders will unveil further challenges.
