Italian Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia (Ducati Desmosedici GP23) Argentine Grand Prix MotoGP taking place this weekend Rio Hondo Hot Springswith Championship leading group after winning two races held in PortugalIt’s the first event on the calendar that has already made it a favourite, especially due to the impressive performance of its bike.
Moreover, marc marquez (Repsol Honda RC 213 V) is the hero of the weekend discussion attack local idol Miguel Oliveira (KTM RC 16), will Miscarriage in Argentina who had to have surgery He is right-handed at the Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid, so he won’t be able to live up to a two-round penalty at the Argentine Grand Prix.
This is where the discussion begins, because the document released to the public on the sanction imposed by the FIM (International Motorcycle Federation) clearly states that it must be complied with at the Argentine GP. He’s not going to get over his injury and go to Austin in Las Américas, a track that the Repsol Honda driver really likes..
With the document in hand, it is clear that the sanction must be complied with in Argentina, but there are dissenting voices who believe that the sanction must be observed at the next Grand Prix, which Marc Márquez objects to, and thus serves the debate.
Regardless, the FIM had to clarify on Tuesday, March 28th, that Marc Márquez’s penalty would have to be withdrawn in his first race since recovering from injury, which would force him to do so. At the American Grand Prix in Austin, although this decision was not issued and Honda could file an appeal against it.
In any case, and strictly for sport, Bagnaia comes to Argentina as a big favourite, but the Termas de Río Hondo circuit is a track that is well-suited to the Aprilia RS-GP and Aleix Espargaró scored his first and only victory last year for both himself and teammate Maverick Viñales.The runner-up in the long race in Portugal should at least be nominated for the podium, although their chances of fighting for victory are serious and more than possible.
Espargaró had some issues in Portimao that should not be repeated at Termas de Río Hondo. Maverick Vinales proved to have taken a step forward Noale was important in his adaptation to his prototype and would have to be a regular contender for the podium due to his skills and potential.
In the long-standing relationship between Ducati and its apparently Portuguese representatives, Italy’s Marco Bezzecchi, France’s Johann Zarco and Spain’s Jorge Martín are clear contenders, not only for the podium in every race, but also to contend for a world title this season. It will not distribute more or less than 777 points.
In the case of Jorge Martininvolvement may also be questionable.due to his recovery, as he was also injured in Portimao a small fracture of the big toe of his right foot.
Australian Jack Miller (KTM RC 16) surprise in Portugal As well as showing that the Austrian manufacturer’s prototype is getting closer and closer to the best mechanics in the category, it has an aspiring Miller and the less successful but South African Brad Binder at Portimao. Definitely one of the biggest figures of this season.
Like Miller, Hispanic Joan Mir (Repsol Honda RC 213 V) has proven increasingly comfortable with his new bike and while Japanese engineers have a long way to go to give both him and Marc Márquez a top competitive bike, the Mir’s performance leaves no doubt and would have been placed much later in the rankings had it not been for the problems in Portugal.
French Fabio Quartararo Looks like Yamaha’s only reliable representative At this start of the championship, it will be interesting to see what he can do at one track, the Termas de Río Hondo, although like Honda is one step behind Ducati and Aprilia. not since the last 2022 Grand Prix.
Spanish Alex Rins (Honda RC 213 V) lived up to expectations It is expected to take another step forward in terms of performance and adaptability, as did the team in Portugal and Alex Márquez (Ducati Desmosedici GP22) in Argentina, who seemed much more comfortable and adapted to his new bike. than before, exactly the mechanic that Rins inherited.
Neither the aforementioned Marc Márquez nor his “victim” Portuguese Miguel Oliveira will be able to attend the Argentina event.Discovered to have a minor injury after the Grand Prix, nor the Italian Enea Bastianini (Ducati Desmosedici GP23), recovering from a fractured right shoulder blade, nor the Spanish Pol Espargaró (GasGas RC 16) will keep him in “dry dock” during several Grands Prix due to various injuries sustained in Portimao on the first day of practice.
