Marc Marquez – 9/10
Whereas the anticipated complete domination of the Argentina weekend didn’t materialise, there was little doubt that Marc Marquez wouldn’t win each races at Termas de Rio Hondo. Qualifying on pole with a brand new all-time lap document, lastly demolishing his earlier effort from 2014, he stored his youthful brother Alex Marquez at bay within the dash to win by just below a second. What retains him from an ideal rating is the error he was pushed into by Alex Marquez at Flip 1 on the fourth lap of 25 within the grand prix.
Not like in Thailand when he intentionally dropped into second, Marc Marquez was pressured to work exhausting to get again into the lead – although as soon as he did he cleared off by over a second to the chequered flag. Not totally glad along with his bike all through the weekend, the manufacturing facility Ducati rider nonetheless stood up when it mattered and even along with his mistake was exhausting to beat.
Alex Marquez – 8.5/10
From the off in Argentina Alex Marquez was clearly going to be leaving South America with at the very least second place once more. Although a sometimes good circuit for the Gresini rider, he actually did push Marc Marquez all through and stored each races attention-grabbing. When he led from laps 4 to twenty on his GP24, he actually didn’t put a foot flawed and his tempo was adequate to soak up the stress being exerted on him; at factors, it even pushed Marc Marquez into some errors.
Not fairly in a position nonetheless to place all of it collectively, Alex Marquez needed to accept a brace of seconds once more. However he can grasp his head excessive at his efficiency in Argentina and genuinely begin to imagine that his first MotoGP grand prix win just isn’t far off.
Franco Morbidelli – 7/10
Franco Morbidelli’s Argentina weekend was a little bit of a whirlwind, as he couldn’t hook issues up in qualifying to solely put his VR46 Ducati eighth having come by Q1. Then within the dash he was concerned in a tangle with KTM’s Brad Binder on the primary lap, which was deemed a racing incident. However Morbidelli couldn’t advance on seventh within the 12-lapper.
Choosing an alternate technique and operating the delicate rear for the grand prix, Morbidelli made it depend to run the Marquez brothers shut within the first half of the race after which fend off Pecco Bagnaia late on to attain his first MotoGP podium in 1414 days. With the rumours surrounding VR46 a couple of doable Pedro Acosta link-up in 2026, Morbidelli proving he does have frontrunning type on the GP24 Ducati is well-timed.
Pecco Bagnaia – 4/10
On paper, third and fourth is an okay return from one other robust weekend. However when his team-mate is popping out the performances he’s, and even Alex Marquez is a transparent step forward, Pecco Bagnaia’s struggles are disappointing.
He has pointed the finger at a number of components, although each he and Ducati appear considerably misplaced as to what the actual subject is. Narrowly holding onto a Q2 place after a crash on Friday, he didn’t actually do a lot to problem for pole in fourth. Third got here within the dash, however he had nothing for the Marquez brothers and got here away from the grand prix with no podium (in a race he has completed) since Austin final 12 months.
All of this from a rider who gained 11 grands prix final 12 months and missed a 3rd world title by simply 10 factors is alarming.
Fabio Di Giannantonio – 7/10
Fabio Di Giannantonio has made such a strong begin to the 2025 season that it makes you surprise the place he could possibly be at proper now had he not missed all of testing with an harm. Qualifying on the second row on his VR46-run GP25, he managed fifth within the dash and used the identical delicate tyre technique as his team-mate to return by to fifth within the grand prix.
With a greater begin to his race Di Giannantonio could properly have been in a position to put Bagnaia beneath stress for fourth. However given the context of his current harm, Di Giannantonio is on the appropriate path to being a constant podium challenger within the coming weeks.
Johann Zarco – 9/10
It could be good to provide Johann Zarco an ideal rating for what was an unbelievable weekend, however that gained’t be far off if he carries on like he did in Argentina. In his arms at the very least, Honda’s march again to the entrance has been considerably accelerated. He certified on the entrance row, giving Honda its finest grid place because the 2023 Italian GP, and had tempo sufficient to battle for the rostrum.
That didn’t fairly pan out, as he completed fourth and sixth in each races. However he put Bagnaia beneath some stress early on within the grand prix and will properly have had a greater likelihood at chasing down the Marquez brothers had it not been for his Honda’s lack of grunt.
With such an enormous handicap, Zarco couldn’t do rather more. However Honda ought to take plenty of confidence from the LCR rider’s Argentina weekend.
Brad Binder – 6/10
It was a blended bag for KTM once more, and particularly Brad Binder. He was outclassed by his team-mate Pedro Acosta in qualifying, with the South African solely eleventh on the grid. He was knocked out of the dash on lap one in a tangle with Morbidelli, although he battled exhausting within the grand prix to take the chequered flag in seventh.
Beating Acosta is a feather in his cap, however the KTM’s drawback holding onto tyre life meant Binder was virtually seven seconds away from the highest six and a Honda.
Pedro Acosta – 5.5/10
The distinction to the primary few races of 2025 in comparison with 2024 is stark for Pedro Acosta. The 20-year-old is clearly the quickest KTM rider proper now nonetheless, as his run to fifth on the grid in qualifying can attest to. However he appeared to battle extra come the races, dropping to ninth within the dash and being overhauled by team-mate Binder within the grand prix.
As KTM’s woes proceed, one has to surprise how distracted Acosta is turning into with all of the noise his supervisor is making about his MotoGP future.
Joan Mir – 6/10
A couple of months in the past, Joan Mir qualifying tenth and scoring factors in each races can be a fairly large deal. However in Argentina it felt just like the manufacturing facility Honda rider underdelivered relative to what the bike was clearly able to.
He was unlucky to not make a bid for Q2 on Friday afternoon attributable to a duff tyre, however he managed to get by Q1. He couldn’t get greater than tenth on the grid, which is an issue when the Honda doesn’t have any guts to battle the bikes round it. Eighth was strong sufficient within the dash, whereas he cracked the highest 10 within the grand prix – which turned ninth when Ai Ogura was disqualified.
Honda is getting there, however it will be good to begin seeing a little bit bit extra from the 2020 world champion.

Luca Marini – 5.5/10
Luca Marini achieved his finest consequence as a Honda rider within the Argentina GP, as he took the chequered flag eleventh – which turned tenth following Ogura’s penalty. He couldn’t get close to the factors within the dash, which is a direct results of a disappointing qualifying in sixteenth.
Marini took a little bit of time to stand up to hurry final 12 months, however with the progress the Honda is making he must step up on a extra constant foundation.
Alex Rins – 5/10
Most of Alex Rins’ rating comes from his good lap in Apply to bag a uncommon direct look in Q2 for the Yamaha rider. He didn’t actually take advantage of the chance, although, as he in the end certified in twelfth.

He nonetheless ended the grand prix as high Yamaha rider, with the bike’s typical rear grip points proving an issue for its runners.
Maverick Vinales – 3.5/10
There actually isn’t a lot constructive to say about both Tech3 rider’s Argentina GP. Maverick Vinales was solely faster than Enea Bastianini and Lorenzo Savadori in qualifying, and was a lowly 18th within the dash.
He had a touch higher grand prix as he labored his approach as much as thirteenth (twelfth after Ogura’s penalty), however Vinales is clearly a great distance off attending to grips with the KTM.
Jack Miller – 3/10
The Pramac Yamaha rider was unfortunate to overlook out on a Q2 place in a decent Q1 session, with Jack Miller making up a few locations within the dash to eleventh. Some wheelspin off the road dropped him down the order, whereas his alternative of medium rear tyre didn’t actually give him any instruments to combat with and his progress stalled at 14th.
Fabio Quartararo – 4.5/10
Fabio Quartararo’s Argentina GP weekend is one thing of a case of what-if. He certified a good seventh on his manufacturing facility M1, however bought bullied within the dash and ended up with no level in tenth as he battled an absence of rear grip. His grand prix was compromised at Flip 1 when Marco Bezzecchi slammed into him and knocked him broad, forcing the 2021 world champion right into a restoration journey. He managed to get to fifteenth for his efforts.
Raul Fernandez – 2/10
There isn’t a lot to say about Raul Fernandez’s Argentina GP. He was outclassed by rookie Trackhouse Aprilia team-mate Ai Ogura at each flip. Fernandez certified down in 18th and made it to sixteenth within the dash. Within the grand prix he tangled with Enea Bastianini on lap two, which netted the Trackhouse rider an extended lap penalty.

Enea Bastianini – 2.5/10
Maybe Enea Bastianini’s tyre preservation expertise might have seen him stand up the order from what turned final on the grid come Sunday. However a lap-two collision with Raul Fernandez put paid to this. He rejoined and bought some invaluable information on the Tech3 KTM, however 18th was all he might handle. His bounce to 14th within the dash suggests issues might have been higher, however not a lot.
Fermin Aldeguer – 2/10
The Gresini rookie discovered some exhausting classes in Argentina. Stable in qualifying to place his Gresini Ducati 14th and in addition be high rookie on the grid, he didn’t convert this into something significant. He collided with Miguel Oliveira within the dash, which earned him an extended lap penalty for the grand prix. After serving this, he might do no higher than seventeenth.
Somkiat Chantra – 1.5/10
The irritating factor about Somkiat Chantra’s Argentina weekend was the truth that at some phases of periods he appeared fairly fast. He outqualified the 2 Tech3 KTMs and Aprilia’s Lorenzo Savadori and was seventeenth within the dash. However an absence of grip on his LCR Honda meant he was handed by Enea Bastianini – who crashed on lap two – and was 41.693s off the lead on the chequered flag in final.
Ai Ogura – 5.5/10
Trackhouse rookie Ai Ogura was anticipating a more durable weekend in Argentina, which is what he bought. Qualifying fifteenth, he was a bit underwhelming – by his already lofty requirements – within the dash. However within the grand prix he was fairly good, rising as much as eighth and salvaging a depressing day for Aprilia. A non-homologated software program on his ECU meant he bought disqualified from the consequence, however the type can’t be stripped from him.
Marco Bezzecchi – 5/10
Winner of MotoGP’s earlier go to to Argentina, Marco Bezzecchi confirmed some good velocity once more on the manufacturing facility Aprilia. Although clearly needing to work nonetheless on his time assault type, ninth was an okay start line. He used it to get to sixth within the dash, however undone all his exhausting work with a foolish mistake on the brakes into Flip 1 at first of the grand prix. He was taken out on the spot and Fabio Quartararo’s race was ruined.
Lorenzo Savadori – 2/10
Giving Lorenzo Savadori any scores appears a bit pointless given the position he has been thrust into in Jorge Martin’s absence. With Aprilia utilizing his presence to check issues, he’s probably not getting a lot time to concentrate on himself. His weekend was ruined in Q1 when he suffered an enormous second on fuel and partially dislocated his shoulder. The ache pressured him to retire from the dash and he was held out of the Aprilia line-up for the grand prix.
Miguel Oliveira – 2/10
Once more, Miguel Oliveira’s weekend is tough to charge as a result of he solely accomplished half of it.
