Fresh from victory in America, the Repsol Honda Team head south to Argentina

With no time to rest, Marc Marquez and Hiroshi Aoyama (replacing injured Dani Pedrosa) are en route to Termas de Río Hondo (1100km North West of Buenos Aires) for round three of the 2015 MotoGP World Championship.

After it’s inaugural Grand Prix in 2014 – where Marc and Dani took a 1-2 finish – the MotoGP paddock returns to the Province of Santiago del Estero, with Marc looking for back-to-back victories and Hiroshi hoping to progress his experience further at a track he enjoys and finished 10th in last season on the Open Class Honda bike.

FP1 will commence on Friday at 09h55 local time.

Marc Marquez

CHAMPIONSHIP STANDING: 3RD – 36 POINTS

“After a good weekend in Austin, I am feeling relaxed and confident again. Now we travel straight to Argentina for the next round and we have a good momentum which I hope to continue this coming weekend. Argentina is a circuit that I like and it’s the second year we visit Termas de Río Hondo. We had many fans there last year so I hope they all come to support us again this year and we can put on a good show for them.”

Hiroshi Aoyama

CHAMPIONSHIP STANDING: 14TH – 5 POINTS

“The weekend in Austin was complicated due to the weather but we learned a lot. Now we travel to Argentina which is one of my favourite tracks and I had a good race there last year. The track isn’t easy – it has a long straight and many tight corners but I believe the Honda RC213V will work well there. I have a strong teammate to learn from and Dani’s team are all helping me a lot so my confidence is high and I hope to improve from last weekend.”
