Ducati MotoGP rider Marc Marquez won the Argentine Grand Prix sprint at Termas de Rio Hondo, as MotoGP produced the same podium for the third consecutive time in 2025.

Marquez, his brother Alex and Pecco Bagnaia finished 1-2-3 in both the Thailand sprint and the Thai Grand Prix, and have now done so again in the Saturday race in Argentina.

And much like the Buriram sprint, this one featured Marc dragging Alex away from the pack while Bagnaia had to focus on consolidating third place.

The younger Marquez looked a credible threat to his brother in the first half of the 12-lap race, though he never came particularly close to an overtake before throwing in the towel in the final laps.

He now trails Marc by 11 points in the standings, with Bagnaia another eight points back.

And Bagnaia was perhaps fortunate not to face a sterner challenge from LCR Honda rider Johann Zarco, whose podium bid was wrecked by a poor start from the front row.

Sixth after the start, Zarco quickly worked his way back past French compatriot Fabio Quartararo's Yamaha, then spent a bit of time boxed in behind Pedro Acosta's KTM.

He was unchallenged for fourth once clearing Acosta but had too big a gap to Bagnaia to make up despite comparable pace.

Fabio Di Giannantonio (VR46 Ducati) and Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) both made their way forward in the race to complete the top six, followed by Di Giannantonio's team-mate Franco Morbidelli.

Morbidelli was involved in one of the race's two collisions - as Brad Binder overtook him at Turn 7 on lap one, ran slightly wide, then returned to the line and fell off as Morbidelli tried to retake the spot at Turn 8.

That incident was swiftly declared as requiring no further action from the stewards, which wasn't the case for the other collision - in which rookie Fermin Aldeguer took down Miguel Oliveira, in a crash that remains under investigation.

In the top five after the start, both Acosta and Quartararo went desperately backwards during the race, the former overtaken by Honda's Joan Mir for eighth late on and the latter failing to score at all.
