Of the six MotoGP riders who attended Thursday's pre-event press conference for the Grand Prix of Argentina, only two, Repsol Honda's Marc Marquez (2014/16) and Movistar's Yamaha's Valentino Rossi (2015), have scored race wins at the Termas de Rio circuit.
As for the others—Maverick Vinales, Andrea Dovizioso, Aleix Espargaro, and Scott Redding—only Dovizioso has recorded a top-three finish. Dani Pedrosa, Cal Crutchlow, and Jorge Lorenzo have also stood on either the second and/or third step of the podium.
Will there be a third different winner in Argentina on Sunday? Based on his dominant preseason performances and come-from-behind Qatar victory two weeks ago (CLICK HERE for race results from Qatar), current series points leader Vinales is the clear choice. But as Rossi noted, maybe 10 riders can fight for the podium.
