2025 Argentina Moto2- Race Results
Race results from the 2025 Moto2 Argentine Grand Prix at Termas de Rio Hondo, where Jake Dixon dominated from the opening lap.
Jake Dixon gave a peerless performance to take victory in the Moto2 Argentine Grand Prix, with not even Manuel Gonzalez able to keep pace with the British rider.
Dixon had been a frontrunner all weekend, pushing Gonzalez all the way and qualifying behind the Spaniard in second.
An electric start saw the Elf Marc VDS bike ahead at turn one, with Gonzalez looking for a way past. Almost instantly the #96 worked on dropping his race rival and soon grew the gap to over a second.

That had only increased to a 3.525s lead at the chequered flag as Dixon dominated for his fifth win, the first since making the switch to Boscoscuro and the first for Marc VDS since Australia in 2023.
Gonzalez gave chase, but could not match the pace of the Brit, coming home a secure second for Liqui Moly Intact GP on the Kalex, enjoying his own gap back to the battle for third.
Three riders were close on track for the final podium spot - Celestino Vietti, Aron Canet and Marcos Ramirez.

Vietti had needed to battle through Q1 and was the lowest qualifying of the riders to graduate to Q2, in ninth. A nice line behind Dixon and Gonzalez allowed the Italian to make quick gains, up to fifth on lap one.
Canet was running battered and bruised after a huge Friday fall, which contributed to his tenth on the grid. Also heading in the right direction rapidly, the Spaniard soon took over third from Ramirez, who was bit by Filip salac on his way to the rostrum fight.
Vietti slipped ahead on lap seventeen and refused to cede the position, pulling out enough of a gap to hold third for Team HDR Heidrun over the closing stages, forcing an exhausted Canet to settle for fourth on his Fantic Racing machine.
Ramirez was a safe fifth for American Racing, clear of sixth paced Darryn Binder, improving two positions on his qualifying performance for Italjet Gresini.
After moving through Q1 and smashing his previous best grid position of fifteenth, Alex Escrig was inevitably quick to fall back into the pack from fourth for Forward. The Spaniard rallied mid-race to climb back into the top ten, slicing through the opposition for seventh, smashing his previous best race result of 13th.
Alonso Lopez was eighth on the second HDR Heidrun Speed Up bike, almost two seconds clear of Daniel Holgado, impressing again as the top rookie in the race for CFMoto Inde Aspar, well ahead of his teammate, Moto3 champion David Aloonso, who crossed the finish in 20th.
Albert Arenas was in close company to his compatriot as he closed out the top ten for Gresini.
Tony Arbolino won the last Moto2 visit to Termas in 2023, this time the Blu Cru Pramac Yamaha rider was down in twelfth on the grid and finished the race in eleventh after a stint inside the top ten in the middle of the race.
Barry Baltus was next to see the finish line in twelfth for Fantic Racing. The remaining points went to Senna Agius in 13th for Liqui Moly Dynavolt Intact GP. Deniz Oncu who climbed into the top 15 late on for Red Bull KTM Ajo in 14th and Izan Guevara in 15th for Pramac.

Race Direction decided no further action was needed,
Mario Ajo also failed to go the distance.
Sergio Garcia failed a late fitness test, so Oscar Gutierrez (22nd) was a last minute replacement for at QJ Motor - Frinsa - MSI.
