A long way up the road, Marquez cruised round to take his first win of the season in scintillating fashion, while Rossi earned his first podium since the 2018 German GP. Both were clear of fourth, but which step of the podium would they be standing on? Dovizioso was able to keep second as the Yamaha had no match for the Ducati grunt down the straight, but Rossi sliced his way through on his countryman at Turn 7. Heading into the last lap it was Dovi leading Rossi. Both Rins and Miller getting the better of Petrucci at Turn 5 with three to go. The group had closed back up again but with five laps remaining, Dovi and Rossi were edging out an advantage over the chasing pack, with Petrucci, Rins and Miller squabbling for fourth place. Meanwhile, Marquez’s gap had opened up to 12 seconds. Morbidelli soon found himself down in seventh though, Rins and Miller getting the better of him. Dovi and Rossi locked together, Morbidelli and Petrucci interchanging for fourth with Rins and Miller engaged in battle. With nine to go, a Noah’s Ark formation appeared as second to seventh were two-by-two, roughly half a second between the pairings. Vinales then ran wide at Turn 5 as he dropped behind eighth place Takaaki Nakagami (LCR Honda Idemitsu). It was Rossi who held the P2 baton at the halfway point, eight seconds from Marquez, with Dovizioso, Morbidelli, Petrucci, Miller, Vinales in tandem, with Team Suzuki Ecstar’s Alex Rins creeping up to the rear of Vinales after making up ground from P16 on the grid, firmly tagging himself onto the back of the podium hunt with 10 to go. Rossi got the better of Dovizioso on Lap 9 after running in hot at Turn 5 on Lap 8 having overtaken his compatriot, but the Ducati rider locked himself onto Rossi’s M1 tailpipes as the Italians locked horns in Termas. On Lap 8 Marquez’s lead had stretched to five seconds as six riders all had their sights set on second, with Danilo Petrucci (Mission Winnow Ducati) and Vinales joining the fray. But it was soon race over the Crutchlow as he received a ride-through penalty for jumping the start - no repeat win or podium for last season’s Argentina GP victor. That race for second was fierce though as Dovizioso, Rossi, Miller, Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda Castrol) and Franco Morbidelli (Petronas Yamaha SRT) scrapped it out. 93 as he bolted to a one second lead on Lap 1, with that gap increasing to 2.4s after Lap 2 as it soon became a race for second. With Marquez holding position off the line, it was a case of head and hammer down for the No. Marquez got an unthreatened holeshot after a blinder of a start with second place Maverick Vinales (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) getting bogged down, allowing Dovizioso, Rossi and Jack Miller (Pramac Racing) to get by the Spaniard. Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) obliterated the opposition in the Argentina MotoGP Grand Prix to take victory by over nine seconds, the reigning world champion beating second place Valentino Rossi (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) and third place Andrea Dovizioso (Mission Winnow Ducati) as the Italian duo battled it out for the entire race.
