Marquez Wins Balaton Park Debut to Stretch MotoGP Lead to 175 Points

Balaton Park's tight layout reshaped the running order across the field.

Overview

  • Marc Marquez recovered from an opening‑lap clip with Marco Bezzecchi, seized the lead on lap 11, and won by 4.314 seconds.
  • The win completed his seventh consecutive sprint–grand prix double and pushed his advantage to 175 points over Alex Marquez, who placed 14th.
  • Pedro Acosta finished second, while Bezzecchi managed heavy rear‑tyre drop to secure a career‑first streak of three straight grand prix podiums.
