Once again, Marc Marquez showed his superiority in Argentina. We sometimes felt he was being bullied by his brother Alex., but with a few laps to go, a clever braking move secured him a wide victory. It was as if he had everything under control, just like in Thailand. The Spaniard thus equaled Angel Nieto in the number of victories in all categories (90), and became the first driver to string together two hat-tricks (pole, Sprint and Grand Prix victory) since the introduction of the short format at the start of 2023. As a reminder, the next round is in Austin, on COTA, Marc Marquez's favorite circuit. It's hard to imagine anyone breaking the hegemony.
Marc couldn't have been happier at the finish of the Argentine Grand Prix. Once again, he won, and once again, he shared the podium with his little brother Alex. « Today was the best version of myselfI sweated more than in Thailand. I had to push harder than necessary, Alex was pushing very hard. I waited until braking point 5, the only place I could catch him. He surprised me a lot: I know he is capable of anything, and even more. For now, he's my rival for the title. In turn 6, on the left, he was faster than me. I said to myself: It's not normal that someone is faster than me on a left! » he declared to Todocircuito at the finish. It is true that Alex Marquez was very impressive today.

A few sentences caught the attention of the press: Marc Marquez admitted that he and Alex had agreed on the strategy to follow before the start. « Our greatest strength is honestyWe discussed which tire seemed most suitable to us. I explained my race plan to him, and if he was leading, the one he should follow.. So, halfway through the race, he saved his rubber. I had been honest with him about the plan. He had to save tire, and that's what we did. Afterwards, he still surprised me, because he responded with a quick spin a little later. I wondered if I should settle for second place but his tires were tired, I was able to repeat it » he continued. This devastating agreement between the two best drivers in the world at the moment is undoubtedly difficult for the competitors to digest. He is certain of his brother's potential: "This year he's going to win races." he added.

Marc Marquez thus equals Angel Nieto, one of the greatest riders of all time, a 13-time world champion, only in small-bore motorcycles, who passed away a few years ago. Marc was deeply honored. « The team prepared a tribute for Nieto, but I didn't know anything about it. This victory is for him and his family. He was very important for the development of Spanish motorcycling sport » he concluded.
