They’re giving permission keep first placealbeit by a meager margin of two points against South Africa Brad Binder (KTM RC 16) and three compared to the French Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha YZR M1) is the current world champion in the category.

In the week following Indonesia, five cargo flights were originally scheduled with supplies, from Lombok (Indonesia) to Tucumán near Termas de Río Hondo.
Due to two separate issues affecting the two flights, Argentina’s last cargo will now arrive in the country on Friday on a flight that includes cargo for all World Championship categories. changes in the schedule for all categories and cancellation of the test day on the first day of the competition.
All free practice sessions and qualifiers will take place on Saturday morning, meaning that only one of the Friday sessions has been canceled and the other has been moved to Saturday, where qualifiers for all categories will also be held.
Sunday morning warm-up sessions were extended and each race started at the same time as originally scheduled.
Marc Marquez’s Absence
Everything is about to change when only two Grands Prix are played in a long season of twenty-one races, but after some hesitation it begins. Things don’t look so bad for the French Quartararo. It moved up to a very valuable second place in Indonesia in extreme conditions due to the adverse effects of the weather.
But perhaps the most striking note is the absence of the eight-time world champion Hispanic Spaniard once again. Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda RC 213 V), as a result of a heavy crash during the “warm-up” in Mandalika, experienced a new period of diplopia.

His last-minute medical review advised him not to travel to Argentina, although he had a very positive evolution in paralysis of the affected fourth right nerve.
However, the pilot hopes to join the talisman circuit Austin, one week later if subsequent ophthalmological examinations are positive.
In the United States, though Marc Márquez is the true expert on the track and logic should rest, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Repsol Honda rider tried to make the second date in the Americas in the first race. Everything suggests that as long as the eight-time world champion’s withdrawal is officially confirmed, Germany’s Stefan Bradl, Honda test driver, will replace him.
Spanish Pol Espargaró, the second member of the Repsol Honda team, will take on the responsibility to raise the “flag” of the team as high as possible. and in his particular case, replacing his twelfth place in the chaotic Mandalika race, after starting the season with a magnificent podium – third place – in Lusail (Qatar).
The one in a much better situation despite the careful pre-season is current world champion Fabio Quartararo, who will have to confirm the condition his new Yamaha YZR M 1 is in at both American circuits.
Bastianini and Binding unknowns
Too much Enea Bastianini as Brad Binder will be unknown when it comes to results. Given that its performance heavily depends on the conditions of the track, as with Miguel Oliveira and his KTM RC 16 who won in the rain in Mandalika.
French Johann Zarco The (Ducati Desmosedici GP22) performs fairly regularly, allowing it to place sixth in the championship in the Aprilia RS-GP, just ahead of Pol Espargaró and Repsol Honda and its brother Aleix.
Behind them, two official Suzuki drivers, Alex Rins and Joan Mirhowever, he is the last on this list of nine drivers by ten points, so any calculations that can be made at this point in the championship are purely speculation, as one would have to take other drivers into account.
The Italian, currently second in the world Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia (Ducati Desmosedici GP21) barely scored at this start of the championship, or his teammate on the official Ducati team, Australian Jack Miller, who finished eleventh and fourth on the scoreboard with a “zero” in Qatar, squared in the rain in Indonesia.
Spanish is also not among the best in the category Maverick ViñalesShortly after leaving Yamaha last season, when the Italian Aprilia team expected so much more, the Noale prototype signed him into what should have been the big “surprise” of the competition after the big step in evolution starring.
Australia Remy Gardner or Spanish Raul FernandezThe main rookies of the season with the Italians on the KTM RC 16 roads marco bezzecchi (Ducati Desmosedici GP21) and Fabio di Giannantonio (Ducati Desmosedici GP21) and South Africa Darryn Binder (Yamaha YZR M 1) will have to continue the adaptation phase to a new category, where they still do not have the “best feelings”.
