Sensation in MotoGP
MotoGP race in Argentina – LIVE from 7pm
Marc Marquez remains the measure of all things in the still young MotoGP season! The 32-year-old triumphed on Sunday at the Grand Prix of Argentina, just like two weeks earlier at the season opener in Thailand, ahead of his brother Alex Marquez. South African Brad Binder was the best KTM rider in seventh place, while his Spanish team-mate Pedro Acosta finished ninth. In the Moto3 class, Jakob Rosenthaler from Upper Austria crossed the finish line in 20th place.
With four laps to go, Marc Marquez made an overtaking maneuver on the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit, finishing almost 1.5 seconds ahead of his brother, who is three years younger. Eight-time world champion Marc Marquez now has 90 GP victories to his name, 64 of them in the premier class, which puts him on a par with his compatriot Angel Nieto, who died in 2017 as a result of a quad bike accident.
Franco Morbidelli completed the MotoGP podium in Argentina in third place. The Italian finished in the top three for the first time since May 2021, when the former Moto2 World Champion finished third in Jerez. Last year's world championship runner-up Francesco Bagnaia - like the Marquez brothers and Morbidelli on a Ducati motorcycle - had to settle for fourth place. The Italian is already 31 points behind world championship leader Marc Marquez in third place in the overall standings.
Rosenthaler: "Not the result I had hoped for"
For Rosenthaler, it was the second and currently last wildcard race for Team Aspar. "It was very difficult," said the 18-year-old in a team statement, lamenting the lack of grip, among other things. Mistakes also prevented him from achieving a better position. It was only towards the end of the race that he got back on track. "But it's not the result we were hoping for." Two weeks ago in Thailand, Rosenthaler crashed on the last lap and also failed to score points there.
