Marc Marquez starts from pole position after delivering an impressive performance in qualifying, where he set a new lap record and later converted that into a Sprint race victory. His younger brother, Alex Marquez, lines up alongside him in second, while Johann Zarco secured a surprising third for LCR Honda, marking the manufacturer’s first front-row start since Mugello 2023.

Francesco “Pecco” Bagnaia starts in fourth after a challenging Friday session but showed improved pace during qualifying. Pedro Acosta, leading the KTM charge, will begin from fifth, while Fabio Di Giannantonio rounds out the second row in sixth for VR46 Ducati.

Among the non-Ducati riders in the top 10, Fabio Quartararo leads the way in seventh for Monster Yamaha, followed by Marco Bezzecchi (ninth, Aprilia) and Joan Mir (tenth, Honda HRC). Brad Binder (eleventh) and Alex Rins (twelfth) will aim to make their way up the order on race day.

A key storyline involves Fermin Aldeguer, who will start 14th but faces a long lap penalty due to his collision with Miguel Oliveira in the Sprint race. This opens an opportunity for Ai Ogura and Luca Marini, starting directly behind him, to capitalize on any lost time.

With Marc Marquez in dominant form, Alex Marquez eager to challenge his brother, and Honda showing signs of revival through Zarco, the stage is set for a thrilling Argentina MotoGP showdown.
