"Francesco Bagnaia... Why are you the way that you are?" - Cam Buckley

Welcome back to MotoGP, and we have a brand new winner as the calendar returned to Argentina as the VR46 Academy scores its first ever MotoGP win at the hands of totally not a Marco Simoncelli lookalike, Marco Bezzecchi! He was brilliant in a dominant display in heavy wet conditions as he smacked around Johann Zarco and new polesitter Alex Marquez!

We also had another brilliant sprint race as Brad Binder went from 15th to 1st on Saturday afternoon (Again in wet conditions), as he hugged the inside line beautifully to eventual victory. Has the South African become a Saturday man at last? And with Joan Mir suffering a severe concussion, is the Sprint having a nastier downside still?

Also, Francesco Bagnaia binned it again, seemingly pushing too much in the rain and crashing it in the rain, his 6th in the last 22 weekends. How long can he keep getting away with making basic errors?

All that and a roundup of the junior series racing, on a hour long Motorsport101!
