The Argentine GP will take place at Termas de Rio Hondo, which first featured on the calendar back in 2014, but has been absent since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

MotoGP had hoped to stage the Argentina race last year, but had to scrap it due to ongoing travel disruptions brought about by the COVID pandemic - though World Superbikes did manage to get its round in the country in.

Since the last Argentine GP, the pit building at Termas de Rio Hondo was ravaged by a fire at the start of 2021.

Coming into the Argentina weekend, Gresini Ducati's Enea Bastianini continues to lead the standings by two points after a difficult outing in the wet Indonesian GP, while KTM's Brad Binder is his closest rival.

Honda announced ahead of the event on Tuesday that six-time world champion Marc Marquez will not race this weekend in Argentina as he continues to recover from double vision issues he suffered as a result of a massive crash in Indonesia.
