The Argentina GP produced a stunning weekend of action, from Brad Binder’s (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) incredible P15 to P1 Tissot Sprint victory to a history-making win for Marco Bezzecchi and the Mooney VR46 team on a wet Sunday.
There were certainly no shortage of hot topics from Round 2, and these are some of the biggest Talking Points from the weekend.

Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team): “I’m happy for Marco, I think he really deserved the victory. He was unbeatable this weekend. He was very competitive yesterday, very competitive today in the wet.
