TERMAS DE RÍO HONDO, Argentina — The MotoGP season continues this weekend as riders prepare for the 2025 Grand Prix of Argentina at the Termas de Río Hondo circuit. The race is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. ET on March 16, 2025, following a thrilling season opener where Marc Márquez claimed victory in Thailand.

Márquez displayed dominant form last weekend, winning both the sprint and main races, leaving competitors eager to challenge his lead. “I feel good going into Argentina; I’ve always enjoyed racing here,” Márquez said during a press conference. “But I know my rivals are pushing hard to catch up, so we can expect intense battles on the track this weekend.”

With reigning champion Jorge Martín sidelined due to injury, his absence opens opportunities for others. Notably, Francesco Bagnaia of the Ducati Lenovo Team is structured to challenge Márquez, aiming for a strong performance after rounding out the podium in Thailand. “We need to bring our best to the race in Argentina,” Bagnaia commented. “Marc is formidable, but we have a plan to close the gap.”

The Termas de Río Hondo circuit stretches 4.8 kilometers and is known for its challenging layout featuring 14 corners. The weather adds another layer of unpredictability, with forecasts suggesting possible thunderstorms leading into race day. This could influence strategies and performances across the grid.

<pAs the second round of the MotoGP season unfolds, other competitors like Alex Márquez and rookie sensation Ai Ogura are eager to debut strong performances. Despite his injury, Jorge Martín remains a point of discussion among teams. Lorenzo Savadori will take over his seat in the Aprilia team, potentially impacting the dynamics of the race.

For fans looking to catch the action live, the race will be broadcast on Fox Sports 2 in the United States. It will also be available for streaming via platforms such as FuboTV. In the UK, TNT Sports will show every session leading up to the race.

Live coverage starts Friday, March 14, with Free Practice sessions, followed by Qualifying on Saturday, March 15, and culminating in the Grand Prix on Sunday. The MotoGP returns with high expectations of fierce competition and remarkable displays of skill.
