Magical Marc Marquez makes it three out of three
Spaniard, 21, also became the first rider in 43 years to win the first three rounds from pole position
World champion Marc Marquez clinched his third win in three races this season with victory in the Argentina MotoGP.
The 21-year-old Spaniard also became the first rider in 43 years to win the first three rounds from pole position.
His Honda teammate, Dani Pedrosa, was second with Yamaha duo Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi in third and fourth spot respectively.
My tyres were not good and I spun as I was on the dirty side of the track. But it was fun
Marquez, who had won in Doha and Austin, slipped back to fifth place after a poor start which saw 2010 and 2012 world champion Lorenzo storm to the front.
Nine-time world champion Rossi moved into third, but it was Lorenzo who stayed in front.
However, with nine of the 25 laps remaining, Marquez pounced to take the lead which he would not relinquish. Marquez won by 1.837 seconds from Pedrosa with Lorenzo 3.201 seconds off the pace and Rossi finishing almost five seconds behind.
Marquez has a perfect 75 points in the championship standings with Pedrosa on 56 and Rossi in third on 41 points.
