Il Mondiale MX2 si riapre come si era chiuso, ovvero con la vittoria di Pauls Jonass. Il campione del mondo in carica, infatti, domina entrambe le manche del Gran Premio di Argentina a Neuquen e inizia nel migliore dei modi la sua rincorsa al bis iridato. Con i 50 punti odierni porta già a 8 il suo vantaggio su Thomas Kjer Olsen e 13 su Hunter Lawrence.
In Gara-1 il lettone Pauls Jonass (KTM) ha centrato una grande vittoria in rimonta, andando a raggiungere e superare l’australiano Hunter Lawrence (Honda), per poi lasciarlo a 1.9 secondi. Terza posizione per il danese Thomas Kjer Olsen (Husqvarna) a 12.5, mentre è quarto il britannico Ben Watson (Yamaha) a 21.5. Completano la top ten: il tedesco Henry Jacobi (Husqvarna), quinto a quasi 40 secondi, avendo la meglio nel finale del britannico Conrad Mewse (KTM) e l’australiano Jed Beaton (Kawasaki). Ottavo il nostro Michele Cervelin (Honda) a 43.2, davanti al russo Vsevolod Brylyakov (Yamaha) ed allo statunitense Thomas Covington (Husqvarna) a 52.7. Gli altri italiani: Quindicesimo Samuele Bernardini (TM) a 1:15, mentre si ferma a nove giri dalla conclusione la gara di Morgan Lesiardo (KTM) che si classifica, quindi, come ultimo.
Gara-2 ha rivisto un monologo di Jonass che ha preso il comando delle ostilità sin dall’inizio senza mollarlo fino al traguardo. Alle sue spalle Thomas Kjer Olsen distante circa 5 secondi. Terza posizione per lo statunitense Darian Sanayei a 10.7, mentre Ben Watson chiude quarto a 13.8 davanti al sudafricano Calvin Vlaanderen di un soffio. Sesta posizione per Hunter Lawrence a 14.9, settima per lo spagnolo Jorge Prado (KTM) a 33 secondi, ottava per l’australiano Jed Beaton (Kawasaki) a 34.4, nona per il russo Vsevolod Brylyakov a 40, mentre è decimo il belga Jago Geerts (Yamaha) a 41.6. Gli italiani: 17esimo Samuele Bernardini a 1:02, 20esimo Morgan Lesiardo a 1:39, mentre si ferma dopo appena 4 giri la corsa di Michele Cervellin.
