In the 2025 MotoGP Argentina Grand Prix, Marc Marquez triumphed over his brother, Alex Marquez, securing his 90th career victory. This achievement places him third in the all-time rankings alongside the legendary Angel Nieto, with only Giacomo Agostini and Valentino Rossi ahead of him. Marquez, who was the clear favorite, had to navigate a challenging race after a mistake early on that allowed Alex to take the lead.
Initially, Marc Marquez started off strong, having secured pole position and emerged victorious in the sprint. However, after dropping out of the lead following an error on lap four, he spent the majority of the race in pursuit of Alex Marquez. By lap 21, Marc regained the lead and ultimately finished 1.3 seconds ahead, maintaining his lead in the championship with a 16-point advantage over Alex.
Franco Morbidelli finished third, marking his first podium finish since 2021. Pecco Bagnaia, also riding for Ducati, took fourth place after struggling to keep pace with Franceso Morbidelli, who had opted for a soft rear tyre. In the early laps, Marc managed to pull ahead of both Alex and Bagnaia, but a slip allowed Alex to momentarily lead the race.
Despite his efforts, Alex Marquez was unable to maintain his lead against Marc’s determined resurgence. Morbidelli and Bagnaia battled for position in the closing stages, with Morbidelli managing to cross the finish line ahead, solidifying a competitive podium.
The race saw multiple notable placements, with Fabio Di Giannantonio securing a fifth-place finish, while Ai Ogura climbed from 15th on the grid to finish eighth. Several riders encountered challenges, including Fabio Quartararo, which impacted their overall standings in the race.
Marc Marquez’s remarkable victory at the Argentina Grand Prix not only marks his historic 90th win but also reinforces his supremacy in the current championship standings. The intense competition with his brother, Alex, highlighted both riders’ capabilities and set the stage for future races. This event serves as a reminder of Marc’s continued dominance in MotoGP as he strives to add more titles to his illustrious career.
