MotoGp, Argentina: Marc Marquez puts his hands up after a lions’ Friday
Marc Marquez dominated Friday’s sessions in Argentina
.
Friday’s two timed sessions in Argentina gave a clear indication: Marc Marquez seems to be definitely at ease, so much so that he finished both FP1 and FP2 with the best time, in the first case ahead of the surprising Johann Zarco on Honda and in the second ahead of Fabio Di Giannantonio, of Team VR46.
The Catalan firmly affirms that he has no reason to anticipate the celebrations: “Alex goes very strong – he said, starting with his brother the discourse related to the opponents for him more fearsome – but also Bezzecchi and Di Giannantonio are fast. And then there’è Bagnaia, who è fell but could easily be among the top four or five”.
“The Ducati is going strong,” the number 93 later explained. It seemed to me that the set-up was not particularly suitable for my riding style but I must say that we did a great job during the day, and è it went very well. Now forò we have to think about qualifying, the race will depend so much on the grid position. There’è still a lot to do”.
Marc Marquez, class of 1993, è in his second season riding a Ducati, his first in the factory team. His debut in 2025 è was a happy one, to say the least, as at the Buriram circuit, on the first weekend of the season in Thailand, he took first pole position and then success in the Sprint Race and Grand Prix, immediately placing him at the top of the overall standings.

Matteo Gigante, world number 164, didn’t make it against the emerging Czech Jakub Mensik, number 21, who in the second round of the men’s singles at the Internazionali d’Italia beat him with a score of 7-6 7-5 in just over an ira and 40 minutes of play.
Two evenly matched sets in which there was only one break, the one on 5-5 in the second set in favor of Mensik, and only two other break points, saved by Gigante, who on 3-3 also in the second set had found himself down 15-40.
The situation was repeated four games later and this time Gigante had to surrender at the second opportunity for Mensik, who won the first set tie-break 7-4 by stringing five consecutive points from 4-2 in favor of the 23-year-old Roman.
