2025 Argentina MotoGP Free Practice 2 Result: Alex Marquez Returns To Top Spot

By Zara Daniela | Sat, 15/Mar/2025 - 13:54

A particularly grey Saturday morning set the scene for the final practice session for the premier class and it was the same names at the front of the timesheets, just in a slightly different order. Alex Marquez returned to the top of the charts, spending all session in prime position, while Marc Marquez steadily closed in to trail his brother by eight hundredths of a second while continuing to set a solid pace on worn rubber.

Johann Zarco continued to thrive at Termas and completed the top three, a tenth off the lead and with Fabio Di Giannantonio in close pursuit in 4th position. Pedro Acosta completed the top 5 to add a KTM to the mix, getting ahead of rookie Fermin Aldeguer. After sneaking into Q2 by the skin of his teeth due to a crash, Pecco Bagnaia was on the right track on Saturday morning, up to 7th and ending the session on a similar pace to his teammate, while having a good look at him on track. 

Marco Bezzecchi, Jack Miller and Fabio Quartararo completed the top 10 in FP2 – although the Australian will have to battle through Q1 to repeat that feat later on. Franco Morbidelli will be joining him there and although he seems to be one of the favourites to go through, the Italian’s day didn’t get off to the greatest start, with an early crash interrupting his session before he recovered to 12th position.
