Ben Watson provided the biggest Brit shock in the MX2 division at a track that ended his 2016 campaign with a broken foot. The 20-year-old is already an experienced GP racer but until the weekend was never considered a podium contender. He is now…

A career-best third in Saturday’s qualifying races was followed by a career-best 4-4 card for a career-best fourth overall – that’s a lot of career-best performances for one weekend

Watson – who signed for the Kemea Yamaha team at the end of last season – couldn’t quite believe it himself and took to Instagram to reveal his surprise.

“I cannot express the feeling I have right now!. 4-4 for fourthth overall in Argentina missing the podium by one point, thank you so much for the endless messages from everyone and the huge support from back home! Huge thank you to the whole team… now to keep it rolling each weekend," he said.
