During the race, Marc expressed his emotions regarding this significant achievement, stating, “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.” Despite facing issues with rear tire confidence and initially considering a second-place finish, Marc improved as the race progressed and successfully overtook Alex, declaring, “It’s difficult to attack your brother.”
Francesco Bagnaia, the two-time MotoGP champion, placed fourth, trailing 31 points behind Marc, while Fabio Di Giannantonio of VR46 Racing finished in fifth. The next race of the season is scheduled for the Americas MotoGP in Austin, Texas, from March 28 to 30.
In conclusion, Marc Marquez’s victory at the Argentina MotoGP exemplifies his continued dominance in the 2025 season as he remains unbeaten.
