2025 Argentina MotoGP: Qualifying and Sprint LIVE!
Live updates from qualifying for the 2025 MotoGP Argentina Grand Prix
Marc Marquez will make his bid for a second pole in MotoGP 2025 after topping Friday practice at the Argentina Grand Prix for the factory Ducati team.
Topping both sessions at Termas de Rio Hondo on Friday, Marquez comes into Saturday's action as favourite to fight for pole after setting a new all-time lap record on Friday.
It was tight behind Marquez, with VR46 Ducati's Fabio Di Giannantonio his nearest challenger on the timesheets. Alex Marquez (Gresini), Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi and Ducati's Pecco Bagnaia were all singled out as being threats.
Bagnaia crashed at the end of second practice but just scraped into a Q2 place. The double world champion feels more confident about his potential on the GP25 having found a set-up on Friday to improve braking.
Strong showings for Yamaha and Honda on Friday leaves the door open for a mixed grid for Saturday's sprint and Sunday's grand prix in Argentina.
Qualifying begins at 1:45pm GMT, with the sprint at 6pm GMT.

Marc Marquez beats Alex Marquez in Q2
It's a second pole of 2025 for Marc Marquez, 0.246s clear of Alex Marquez as his brother slots into second on the Gresini Ducati.
Zarco gets a first front row for Honda since the 2023 Italian GP.
14:30
Chequered flag
Chequered flag is out and nobody looks like challenging Marc Marquez.
14:30
It's a 1m36.917s for Marc Marquez! The fastest ever lap at Termas de Rio Hondo.
14:29
Alex Marquez is lighting the timing screens up on this lap. But so is his brother!
14:27
Bagnaia makes an improvement to a 1m37.268s, but that's only good enough for fourth. He'll need to dig a bit deeper to get onto the front row.
14:26
Bezzecchi goes on his way for a flying lap and looks really good on that Aprilia. Looks like he's able to push it more like how he wants. Bike looks compliant.
14:25
Just five minutes to go now and pitlane empties. This will be a fiesty end to the session.
14:22
Di Giannantonio has now jumped into sixth, which pushes Bagnaia down to eighth.
The factory Ducati rider said he was "ready to fight" after Friday practice, so it's time for him to stand up and deliver.
14:22
Sixth and a 1m37.586s is a solid effort from Morbidelli on used rubber. Don't rule him out for the front row when he goes onto a fresh soft.
14:21
After the first runs, it's Marc Marquez from Alex Marquez and Zarco.
Bezzecchi is fourth ahead of Acosta, Morbidelli, Bagnaia, Quartararo, Di Giannantonio, Binder, Rins and Mir.
14:20
Marquez goes even quicker on lap two with a 1m37.023s. Alex Marquez moves up to second, 0.140s off.
14:19
Zarco was hooked in behind Marquez, but that is an amazing effort.
14:19
First laps come in and Marc Marquez hits the front with a new lap record of 1m37.142s.
Zarco is second, 0.063s back, while Alex Marquez is third. Bagnaia only ninth after first lap.
14:17
Everyone is out on fresh soft rubber, apart from Q1 pacesetter Morbidelli - and presumably Mir, though there is no tyre data for him registered - who is out on a used soft.
14:15
The pole shootout session is go!
14:14
Last time we were in Argentina, Alex Marquez took his first MotoGP pole.
14:13
Lap record went yesterday. I reckon we'll see the first 1m36s lap of Termas de Rio Hondo over the next 15 minutes.
14:10

14:09
Miserable day for the Tech3 duo so far. Vinales was 0.934s away from Morbidelli's time, while Bastianini was over a second away.
They have a lot of work to do ahead of the sprint.
14:07
Miller will start 13th ahead of Aldeguer, Ogura, Marini, Oliveira, Fernandez, Chantra, Vinales, Bastianini and Savadori.
14:06
Morbidelli fastest in Q1, Mir progresses to Q2
Morbidelli's 1m37.312s remains intact, Mir holds onto second by 0.078s over Miller to bag the final Q2 spot.
14:05
Chequered flag
Chequered flag is out. Nobody threatening the top two places right now.
