ROUND 2 / MARCH 14-16, 2025 TERMAS DE RIO HONDO / SANTIAGO DEL ESTERO PROVINCE, ARGENTINA ROAD RACE I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP P62 54 FERMIN ALDEGUER 14-17 MOTOGP "Too bad, because with the long-lap penalty, the race was kind of compro- mised already," Aldeguer said. "We even had a good start, and then, in the best time, while I was behind the faster group and ready to learn, I had to perform the penalty. I rejoined with a good pace, but then a coming-together with another rider made me lose some focus. We need to improve in many areas, especially under braking, but today I can say that, compared to Thailand, I saw some improvements." 36 JOAN MIR 10-9 MOTOGP "I knew that here, tire management would be important, and I was in a group that allowed me to do it at the start," Mir said. "Defending myself under braking, I was comfortable, and I had Zarco and Bagnaia just ahead—I was riding in a good way. Then the battle really started with everyone, and I was defending all the time on the brakes, but we had to use a lot of tire to do this. It's quite frustrating, honestly, because I think I could have been deeper inside the top 10. But we were in the mix and fighting with everyone." MYOWNRACE
