In a thrilling start to the 2025 MotoGP season at the Argentina Grand Prix, Marc Marquez secured his fourth consecutive victory, leading a Marquez 1-2 finish ahead of his brother Alex Marquez. Although Pecco Bagnaia initially challenged at Turn 5, Alex swiftly reclaimed his position and closely followed Marc, creating an exciting family rivalry for the lead.
The race was not a repeat of their previous race in Thailand; Marc had to exert greater effort to keep pace with Alex. A critical moment occurred at Turn 6, where Marc’s struggle became evident. By lap 18, Marc attempted to take the lead but overshot Turn 5, allowing Alex to regain it momentarily.
Nevertheless, Marc’s persistence paid off as he eventually overtook Alex on lap 21, establishing a decisive lead. Despite Alex’s efforts to catch up, he ultimately finished 1.362 seconds behind Marc, a gap influenced by Marc easing off towards the finish.
The competition among the other riders intensified after Bagnaia’s early challenges, particularly from Johann Zarco. Franco Morbidelli demonstrated impressive skill, overtaking rivals and securing third place, marking his first podium since 2021 following knee surgery. Meanwhile, Bagnaia’s race remained lackluster, leaving him 31 points behind Marc and 15 behind Alex.
Despite Zarco’s aspirations for a podium finish, he found himself unable to contend with the Ducati riders, conceding to Fabio Di Giannantonio in the closing stages.
