Marco Bezzecchi destroys the competition in a wet Argentine Grand Prix as he wins for the first time in MotoGP and takes over the championship lead in the process.
Fears for many were realised immediately heading through turn one as Bezzecchi, who was quickest in terms of race pace, led despite Franco Morbidelli attempting to hang it around the outside.
Similar conditions to that of his maiden MotoGP pole in Mugello last season, Fabio Di Giannantonio was a big mover during the early stages as he sat in fifth at the start of lap five. Not something we expected to see, at least this early in the season, was MotoGP rookie Augusto Fernandez complete successful overtakes on Quartararo and Aleix Espargaro in back-to-back corners .
After quickly getting through on Di Giannantonio, which resulted in the Gresini Ducati rider suffering a bizarre drop as Martin and Jack Miller came through just as fast, Zarco instead made further progress as he got into fifth ahead of Rins. Looking super smooth on lap 17, Bagnaia made a rare mistake as he crashed at turn 13. Able to get back aboard his factory Ducati, Bagnaia re-joined in 16th and well out of contention.
