Argentina 2025 is only the second Grand Prix of the season, but depending on what we can see in Termas de Río Hondo, we can start getting an idea of what the rest of the season awaits us. We are facing a very different track from Thailand’s, although it has a long line. And therefore, if we attend a new recital by Marc Márquez, the rest will have a problem.
And since his injury, but especially since his last year in Honda, everyone was a healthy curiosity to know what Marc could do with a Ducati. When last year with a remarkably lower motorcycle fought with Bagnaia and Martín in some races, that doubt began to dissipate. But since he has dressed in red, it seems that Marc is at such a high level that it is difficult to follow.
That is why the Argentina Grand Prix is an important moment. Because despite being only the second race, it is a path with sufficiently different characteristics to get an idea of whether we are going to see an dump the rest of the season, or if Bagnaia, his brother Álex or any other pilot will be able to fight against Catalan.
In addition, Argentina’s GP will be an opportunity for the rest of the pilots to stop his feet before arriving in Austin in two weeks, because surely that appointment Márquez has it marked in red. Of all the pilots who will try to stop Marc’s feet, the one who has the most interest in doing so is Francesco Bagnaia.
Peco must be able to manage as another pilot has arrived at his house and is revolutionizing it. Moments such as Thailand are not easy to digest, but neither Italian nor can anyone forget that in the races you can go from everything and surrender is not an option.
Logically, accepting the drink that happened in Buriram is not easy for any athlete and less for a whole champion like him. But now more than ever you should not forget that the championship is long, and that the most important thing is to accumulate a good bag of points instead of winning at all costs.
We will have to be aware of the performance of Álex Márquez and Ai Ogura in the Argentine GP
There is also expectation to know what Álex Márquez and Ai Ogura can do. In the case of Alex, he is very strong, at his best since he arrived at MotoGP and simply everything is possible. Meanwhile, Ogura that shone in Thailand, reaches a clue where the Aprilia was able to win, so the expectations are sure to be high.
Those who may not have so many expectations are KTM pilots, who have not started the year in the best possible way. That is why Acosta, Binder, Bastianini and Viñales, a most complete quartet, will have to fight like never to take the KTM RC16 as soon as possible.
That same mission is the pilots of Honda and Yamaha. Although the step forward they have taken in preseason with respect to 2024 is evident, they still have to get higher. Surely the situation in the Argentina’s GP will not be the same and, in fact, although the temperatures will be warm, they will not reach the end of Thailand, something that surely they appreciate.
Now we only need to wait for the first training to begin to give clues about how a weekend will go, which is more transcendent than what could be expected from a second race of the season on the psychological side, but in which the same points will be distributed as in the other 21 quotes of the calendar.
