The 2025 Argentina MotoGP event takes place from March 14 to 16, marking its return after a 2024 absence. Marc Marquez leads the championship, while Pecco Bagnaia aims for redemption and Jorge Martin remains injured. The first practice starts at 1:45 PM GMT.
The 2025 MotoGP season resumes with the Argentina Grand Prix from March 14 to March 16. This event returns to the calendar following its absence in 2024 due to governmental budget cuts in Argentina.
Marc Marquez arrives at the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit aiming to extend his lead in the championship after winning both previous races in Thailand from pole position. His last appearance in Argentina was in 2019, where he achieved a remarkable victory by nearly 10 seconds.
Team-mate Pecco Bagnaia, however, is looking to recover after a challenging weekend in Thailand. Despite his difficulties in Argentina, he remains confident about his performance, although he has refrained from sharing specific issues he encountered.
Alex Marquez from Gresini Racing is anticipated to contend for a podium position, owing to his previous success at the track, where he secured a pole and podium finish in 2023. Currently, he holds the second position in the standings following two second-place finishes in Thailand.
The reigning World Champion, Jorge Martin, remains sidelined due to injury and confirmed his absence for the upcoming Americas GP as well. Aprilia, who earned their first MotoGP victory at this venue in 2022, and Marco Bezzecchi, who secured his first win at the circuit in 2023, are expected to perform strongly this weekend.
The riding dynamics of Honda and Yamaha tested in Thailand face a challenge at the low-grip conditions in Argentina, while KTM aims to improve following a tough season start. The first practice session (FP1) for the 2025 Argentina GP is scheduled to commence at 1:45 PM GMT, with additional practice set for later in the day.
In summary, the 2025 Argentina Grand Prix marks the much-anticipated return of MotoGP to the South American venue after a year of absence. With Marc Marquez leading the championship and Pecco Bagnaia seeking redemption, the competition promises to be fierce. The absence of Jorge Martin adds an interesting twist, while teams like Aprilia look to capitalize on their prior successes at the track.
