Marc Marquez sweeps the 2025 Argentina MotoGP Weekend

MotoGP News: Marc and Alex Marquez sweep Argentina weekend

Marc Marquez remains unbeaten as a factory Ducati rider with his fourth race win in a row at Sunday’s Argentine MotoGP at Autodromo Termas de Rio Hondo.

And just like it was at the first race of the year in Thailand, Marc and Alex Marquez were 1-2 in both the Sprint race on Saturday and the feature race on Sunday.

A late pass on younger brother Alex kept Marc’s perfect run intact, after the Gresini rider led for 20 of the 25 laps.

Marc Marquez’s 90th victory means he is now tied with Angel Nieto for third on the all-time Grand Prix win list.

Franco Morbidelli kept Francesco Bagnaia at bay to claim his first MotoGP podium since 2021 in third, holding off the 2nd factory Ducati of Francesco Bagnaia.

After deliberately letting brother Alex Marquez lead in the Thai season opener, a small mistake by Marc Marquez today at Turn 1 on lap 4 let the Gresini Ducati rider ahead.

The younger Marquez held off Marc’s first lunge, at the Turn 5 hairpin with eight laps to go, but the pressure from behind was immense.

Marc Marquez tried again with 5 laps remaining and made the pass for the lead stick – a lead he would never relinquish.

The rostrum fight was settled in Morbidelli’s favor by just half-a-second from Bagnaia, who looked defeated in the Ducati garage after the race. His new teammate Marc Marquez is destroying him.

How fast was Marc Marquez? He set new race records, with the fastest lap (lap 19) in 1m38.243s and a total race duration of 41m11.100s, which was 25.5 seconds faster than the previous record.
