The Marquez brothers once again captivated the world of MotoGP as they dominated the Grand Prix of Argentina held at Termas de Rio Hondo on March 15, 2025. Marc Marquez secured his 64th MotoGP victory, demonstrating his legendary prowess on the bike, and successfully clinched his 90th career win, placing him among the all-time greats of motorcycle racing.
Marc's recent triumph not only marked his fourth win at this specific venue—following victories achieved there in 2014, 2016, and 2019—but it also tied him with fellow racer Angel Nieto for third place on the all-time list of most Grand Prix victories across all categories. Only Giacomo Agostini (122 wins) and Valentino Rossi (115 wins) stand above him, highlighting the exceptional company Marc keeps within the annals of motorcycle racing history.
Aside from Marc's impressive performance, his brother Alex Marquez, riding for Ducati-Gresini, placed second, marking his first consecutive podium finishes since the GPs of France and Aragon back in 2020. It was truly a thrilling sight as the two brothers stood shoulder to shoulder atop the podium, solidifying their status as formidable competitors this season.
This victory was part of a remarkable start to the season for the Marquez family. Both brothers achieved doubles at every qualification and race so far, leading at least one lap each during these events. Following their dominating performances, Marc leads the championship standings with 74 points, extending his margin with Alex now trailing at 58 points, and Francesco Bagnaia of Ducati securing third place with 43 points.
Marc's success this season marks his first two wins since 2014, and he remains unbeaten. He also achieved success on the same weekend, winning the sprint race held on Saturday, continuing the momentum from his previous win during the first race of the season, which was held earlier this month in Thailand.
After sealing his victories, Marc expressed gratitude for his performance, stating, "I wanted to remain consistent and focused, and it paid off." This mindset has undoubtedly reinvigorated his esteemed career, and the fans are eager to see how he continues this momentum heading toward the next event.
The following race is set for the end of March at the Circuit of the Americas located in Austin, Texas. Fans around the globe are curiously awaiting what the Marquez brothers will conjure next, as there remains ample excitement surrounding the duo's combined skills on the circuit. Alex recounted his feelings post-race, sharing, "It's really special to stand on the podium with my brother,” reflecting the sense of camaraderie embedded within their competition.
For the Marquez brothers, each race is not just about accolades but also about pushing each other to excel, setting the stage for potentially historic milestones as they strive for greatness together this season. With continued success, both brothers are poised to make waves as they aim for championship honors, leaving fans eagerly anticipating their next feats on the international MotoGP stage.
