1. Binder’s incredible release.
In the morning the South African rider qualified in a dismal 15th position. -fifth grid line-. In the afternoon, from the second curve of the race, he started in fifth; from the fifth corner, fourth; of the 13th, third; three laps later Binder took the lead. A position he did not leave until the alternating flag.
2. Q2 in the morning.
Track conditions in the grid-defining session, wet at the start and with drops of moisture at the end, forced drivers and teams to gamble with rain or dry tyres. Those who ventured to ride on slicks -Bezzecchi, Marini, Márquez and Bagnaia- qualified first, second, third and seventh; in the race they finished second, third, fifth and sixth. The Aprilias, until then the favourites, opted for wet tires instead; the fifth and ninth are classified; in the race they did not have a chance to get to the podium.
3. The heads between Marini and Bezzechi.
The battle for second place between the two riders of the Team VR46 team led by Pablo Nieto allowed Binder to open a gap of 8 tenths. When Bezzecchi finally moved into second, he had no laps left to attack the lead; He crossed the finish line 0.072 s behind the South African.
4. Ducati’s ‘coffee for everyone’.
The Italian brand puts in the hands of its eight riders motorcycles where any one of them is capable of winning. In Argentina, three drivers from private teams finished ahead of Bagnaia, current World Champion and reference driver in the factory team.
5. The format.
The new Sprint format generates an intensity on the track that takes racing to a dimension unknown until now. If Dorna is looking for a show to attract a new audience, he’s 100% right.
