MotoGP: Marc Marquez dominates Friday practice in Argentina

The #93 of Marc Marquez on top in Termas – we’ve heard it before, and it was a familiar story on Friday at the 2025 Gran Premio YPF Energía de Argentina.

Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) rode his way to fastest laps in both practice sessions as everyone chases the Spaniard’s tailpipes heading into Tissot Sprint Saturday.

A late corker from Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) and a consistent Friday from Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini MotoGP) see the Italian and Spaniard sit as the title chase leader’s main early contenders.

Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) is being schooled by his more talented teammate Marquez and narrowly avoided another Q1 showing following a Turn 2 crash in the closing minutes.
