JAKARTA - Marc Marquez won two pole positions in a row plus set a new lap record in the 2025 Argentine MotoGP Qualification at Termas de Rio Hondo.

However, this session star is arguably Johann Zarco, who gave Honda his first MotoGP lead since Mugello 2023.

Marquez showed his intention by breaking his own all-time lap record on Saturday, March 15, 2025, WIB night.

Marc Marquez has predicted that his time record will arrive at 1 minute 36 seconds on Friday, March 14, 2025, during the Free Exercise (FP). Sure enough, he was able to penetrate the time record.

After sweeping pole position, plus a Sprint Race and Grand Prix victory in Buriram, Marquez won pole position at Termas with a difference of 0.246 seconds from his brother, Alex Marquez.

Zarco remained in third place thanks to his stunning performance in the second round, while Bagnaia went wide at Turn 5 on the final lap and was unable to rise higher than fourth.

The Italian will start the race with Pedrodeca from KTM and Fabio at Giannantonio from Ducati VR46 in the second row.

Fabio Quartararo is the leading Yamaha rider after he secured seventh place.

Franco Morbidelli and Joan Mir fought hard past Qualification 1 (Q1) to reach Q2.

The newcomers Ai Ogura and Somkiat Chantra both had an accident in Q1. The Japanese racer survived a quick accident that made his RS-GP Trackhouse roll over.

The 2025 Argentina MotoGP Sprint Race will take place 12 laps starting at 3 pm local time or Sunday, March 16, 2025, early morning WIB.

Termas de Rio Hondo returns to the MotoGP calendar after a year absence.

The last time it was held was in 2023, MotoGP Argentina showed Alex Marquez from Gresini winning the lead in the wet Qualification, Brad Binder (KTM) won the Sprint Race, and Marco Bezzecki celebrated his first MotoGP win with VR46 at the Grand Prix.

Marc Marquez holds the best lap record in MotoGP Argentina. Meanwhile, the record for the fastest lap in the main race is still held by Valentino Rossi with a record of 1 minute 39.019 seconds when he was still wearing a Yamaha shirt in 2015.

Meanwhile, the current world champion, Jorge Martin, is still absent due to a left wrist injury due to a pre-season practice accident - which was followed by an injury to his right hand and left leg on the day of the opening of the Sepang test - and was again replaced by Aprilia test rider Lorenzo Savadori.
