Johann Zarco, current world champion, waited for a small mistake from championship contender Sam Lowes to slip into first place and eventually take the win Sunday at the Termas de Rio Hondo Circuit in Argentina. Lowes, who dropped as low as third mid race, climbed back into second by the race's end.
Jonas Folger grabbed the final podium spot after a late-race crash by Franco Morbidelli. Alex Rins, who ran as low as seventh mid race, climbed into fourth as he set fast laps late. Dominique Aegerter took fifth, just in front of Hafizh Syahrin (6th). Qatar race-winner Thomas Luthi couldn't match the early pace of the leaders and settled into seventh. Alex Pons came in another four seconds later, just in front of Takaaki Nakagami (9th). Mattia Pasini rounded out the top 10.
