An interesting and dramatic race of the second stage of the MotoGP World Championship was in Argentina on Sunday, April 9. The weather could not spoil anything and the track coverage remained dry. Nevertheless, there were falls, and one of those who suffered a failure was the current world champion in the lead Marc Marquez (#93, Repsol Honda Team). His fall was not the only one: Jorge Lorenzo (#99, Ducati Team), Andrea Dovizioso (#4, Ducati Team), Aleix Espargaró (#41, Aprilia Racing Team Gresini) and Dani Pedrosa (#26, Repsol Honda Team) left the race for the same reason.
Valentino Rossi (#46, Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) found his rhythm after an unsuccessful qualification and I was able at the end of the race to reduce the distance with british Calvin Crutchlow (#35, LCR Honda) in the fight for second place. And on the first position again, as well as on the first race of the season, was spaniard Meverik Viñales (#25, Movistar Yamaha MotoGP).
We are pleased with our friends and colleagues from OCTO Pramac Racing Finished the race in the top ten: Danilo Petrucci (#9) in seventh place, and Scott Redding (#45) in eigth place. And our friend in the recent past in WorldSBK briton Sam Lowes (#22, Aprilia Racing Team Gresini), unfortunately, formalized the assembly for technical reasons.
