Marc Marquez WINS the Sunday MotoGP race in Argentina and extends his lead in the championship!
It’s the Marquez brothers’ show in Argentina: Alex leads, Marc wins! A spectacular battle between the two brothers ends with yet another family one-two, after a race where they had no real rivals.
Franco Morbidelli takes third place, while Pecco Bagnaia finishes a quiet fourth, still struggling with the GP25.
Race Highlights
THE START – Great launch from Alex Marquez, but the Gresini rider doesn’t dive in and holds onto second place behind his brother. The top four remain unchanged, while further back, Bezzecchi overshoots a corner and crashes straight into Quartararo: the Italian is out, while the Frenchman drops to last place.
A double overtake on lap 4: Morbidelli passes Bagnaia for third place, but more importantly, Marc Marquez makes a mistake at Turn 1, allowing his brother Alex to slip through and take the lead!
Bagnaia struggles to keep up with Morbidelli and is under pressure from Zarco instead. Meanwhile, Alex Marquez impresses as he leads the race.
At mid-race, the standings are: A. Marquez, M. Marquez, Morbidelli, Bagnaia, Zarco, Binder, Di Giannantonio, Ogura.
SCARY MOMENT FOR MARC MARQUEZ! The Spaniard loses the rear at lap 15 and nearly suffers a massive highside—what a scare for the #93! After the close call, the new Ducati factory rider regains the gap and attempts an overtake, but runs wide. The two brothers put on a show on track: Alex pushes ahead, Marc takes risks, even setting a blistering 1:38.2 lap time.
With five laps to go, Marc makes the decisive move: an incredible late braking maneuver secures him the lead and he takes off towards victory! Bagnaia tries to close in on Morbidelli, but the Italo-Brazilian rider holds firm and returns to the podium after a long absence.
