Marc Marquez Secures Victory at Argentina MotoGP, Extends Unbeaten Streak
Marc Marquez won the Argentina MotoGP, extending his unbeaten streak in 2025 and maintaining the championship lead over his brother Alex. This victory marked Marquez’s 90th career win, equalling Angel Nieto’s record. The next race will be the Americas MotoGP in Austin, Texas.
Marc Marquez claimed victory at the Argentina MotoGP, marking an exceptional start to the season and extending his unbeaten record in 2025 at the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit. The six-time world champion managed to outpace his brother, Alex Marquez of Gresini Racing, who finished closely behind him in a thrilling race. Franco Morbidelli from VR46 Racing took the third spot on the podium.
Just like the season-opening Grand Prix in Thailand, Marc dominated, securing the pole position and winning the Saturday sprint, thereby reinforcing his lead in the MotoGP championship standings with a 16-point advantage over Alex. This was Marc’s first return to Argentina since 2019, where he demonstrated his dominance despite a brief slip that allowed Alex to take the lead momentarily. However, Marc quickly reclaimed his position and maintained his lead thereafter.
Remarkably, this marked the second instance in two weeks where two brothers finished first and second in a MotoGP race, a feat that had not been achieved for 76 years prior. With this win, Marc celebrated his 90th victory across all categories, equalling the legendary Angel Nieto, for whom he dedicated the win. He remarked, “Super happy to equal Angel Nieto and this victory is for him and his family because he was an ace. Super important for the Spanish motorcycle world … a pleasure to equal him.”
Meanwhile, Francesco Bagnaia, a two-time MotoGP champion, secured the fourth position, currently trailing Marc by 31 points. Fabio Di Giannantonio from VR46 Racing completed the top five finishers. The next MotoGP event is set for the Americas in Austin, Texas, scheduled between March 28 and 30.
In conclusion, Marc Marquez’s outstanding performance at the Argentina MotoGP maintains his unbeaten streak in 2025 and solidifies his lead in the championship standings. His victory not only enhances his legacy by matching the achievements of Angel Nieto, but it also exemplifies the competitive spirit shared by him and his brother Alex. As the MotoGP season progresses, all eyes will be on the upcoming Americas MotoGP event.
