Marc Marquez (-275):
Six-time MotoGP World Championship winner Marc Marquez started the season on a high, winning in Thailand. The Cerveri was in control throughout the opening weekend and now prepares for Argentina. A country where he has three wins under the bike. If Marquez triumphs in Gran Chaco region, he will tie Angel Nieto as the most successful Spanish MotoGP rider.
Francesco Bagnaia (+475):
Francesco Bagnaia endured a tough trip to Termas de Rio Hondo in 2023, finishing second to last ahead of Brad Binder. The Italian upped his game last season, winning 11 Sunday races, but multiple crashes in Saturday sprint races saw him gift points to eventual Championship winner, Jorge Martin. “Pecco” picked up a podium in the season opener and is looking to return to winning ways in Santiago Del Estero.
Alex Marquez (+550):
The younger Marquez brother, Alex, stepped up in South East Asia to earn the sixth podium of his MotoGP career. It is only the second time that the Marquez brothers have shared the stage, and the Gresini rider is hitting his straps in his sixth full season on the circuit. Alex rode to a third place finish on his last razzle in Argentina.

Franco Morbidelli (+1600):
Franco Morbidelli held on for a fourth place finish in the 2023 Argentine MotoGP race, the same result he earned in Thailand two weeks back. The Roman last rode down victory lane in 2020 at the Valencian Grand Prix. Morbidelli finished the sprint at Termas de Rio Hondo in second place, behind Binder last time out.
Marco Bezzecchi (+1600):
Defending Argentine GP Champion Marco Bezzecchi arrives in Latin America aiming to preserve the title he won in 2023. Bezzecchi last returned to the winner’s circle in 2023 at the Indian Grand Prix, he has now switched to Aprilia after enjoying early success on a Ducati.
Brad Binder (+3300):
South African, Brad Binder is flying under the radar this season as his new teammate Pedro Acosta grabs the attention. Despite the Acosta fanfare, “Bradical” finished eighth in “The land of the Smiles”, 11 spots ahead of Pedro. The fifth best rider in 2024 returns to the circuit where he won the sprint, just under two years ago.
Expert Pick for Argentina MotoGP
Championship leader Marc Marquez is an easy pick for the Gran Premio YPF Energia de Argentina MotoGP. The Spaniard dominates the honors roll at this track, with most poles, wins and the all-time lap record. “The Ant of Cervera” has won this race three times and he is chasing history to cement his place in Spanish MotoGP history. Marquez carries short odds at -275, potentially paying $27.27 on a $20 wager.

Fabio Quartararo has signed a two-year contract with Honda that will begin under the new 850cc regulations in 2027. He will leave Yamaha at the end of the 2026 MotoGP season. The 26-year-old 2021 world champion made his MotoGP debut with Yamaha in 2019 and departs after recording 11 victories, 32 podiums, and 21 pole positions for the manufacturer. Despite a contract extension from Yamaha in April 2024 that met his financial demands, Quartararo has not won since the 2022 German Grand Prix and has managed only four podiums since 2023. He cited Yamaha’s lack of progress on its inline-four development as the decisive factor in his decision to move on and opted to leave before testing Yamaha’s new V4 for 2026.
Honda’s announcement locks in the factory team to field Quartararo under the incoming 2027 regulations, though the exact seat within Honda has not been confirmed. Joan Mir and Luca Marini were named in reports as possible vacancies because both are out of contract. The timing of the move was explicitly tied to the sport’s technical reset for 2027, making the regulatory change a major factor in the transfer. Motorsport reporting that preceded the announcement had framed a Quartararo-to-Honda switch as likely to reshape the rider market, with reporter Uri Puigdemont and others noting how an early high-profile move can accelerate negotiations across the paddock.
The deal makes the 2026 season a transitional or “shakedown” year for Quartararo and other riders as teams prepare for the new rules. However, it represents a significant personnel loss for Yamaha. Only a handful of riders, Toprak Razgatlioglu, Diogo Moreira, and Johann Zarco, have publicly confirmed contracts for 2027, underscoring how a confirmed signing of Quartararo could trigger downstream moves. Honda presented the contract as definitive for 2027–2028, framing the next chapters of the championship as a period of notable technical and market change across MotoGP.
Fermín Aldeguer fractured his left femur in a training crash earlier this month and underwent surgery in Barcelona shortly after. The operation was described as successful, but Gresini called the fracture complex.
His long‑time physiotherapist, Aitor Tomas, said it is “impossible” for Aldeguer to be ready for the early‑February pre‑season tests at Sepang and Buriram. Tomas added the team will “fight” to have him available for the season opener and noted recoveries vary, citing Pedro Acosta’s quick return from a similar injury, but Gresini cautioned that such comparisons are imperfect.
With the season opener scheduled Feb 27–Mar 1 in Buriram, Aldeguer’s participation is uncertain. Multiple reports suggest a comeback may not come until the Qatar Grand Prix on April 10–12. If so, he would miss the first three rounds (Thailand, Argentina, USA) and all pre‑season running, further limiting bike setup and race‑trim work.
Gresini has not named a replacement; short‑term lineup decisions will depend on medical reassessment and rehabilitation progress. Separately, reports say Ducati has removed the Murcian from its 2027 rider shortlist, an unconfirmed development that could affect Aldeguer’s longer‑term prospects if his recovery or form are impacted. Updates from his medical team and Gresini will determine whether he can be fit for Buriram or will require an extended layoff into the early rounds of the MotoGP season.
