Marc Marquez qualified on pole position for the Argentina MotoGP. On Saturday, he converted that into a sprint race victory.
Brother Alex Marquez of Gresini is second, and factory Ducati teammate Pecco Bagnaia is fourth.
Interestingly, Johann Zarco put his LCR Honda in third.
Fabio Quartararo, Marco Bezzecchi and Joan Mir are non-Ducati riders in the top 10.
*Fermin Aldeguer starts the Argentina MotoGP from 13th but must serve a long lap penalty, for his incident in Saturday's sprint with Miguel Oliveira.
Ai Ogura and Luca Marini are the riders directly behind Aldeguer who will try to take advantage.
**Miguel Oliveira of Pramac was due to start from 17th but has withdrawn from the Argentina MotoGP due to injury sustained in Saturday's sprint. Therefore, Raul Fernandez, Somkiat Chantra, Maverick Vinales and Enea Bastianini will be bumped forwards by one spot.
Lorenzo Savadori, replacing the injured MotoGP champion Jorge Martin at Aprilia, was due to start from the back of the grid. However, he has also been ruled out of participation after a medical check on his shoulder injury.
