Overview

  • Marc Márquez sealed pole with a 1:35.518 track record, his eighth of the season, with Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio Di Giannantonio completing the front row.
  • Pedro Acosta led Friday practice in 1:37.061 and later walked away from a heavy crash; he qualifies seventh after an early Q2 fall.
  • Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia will start 15th after failing to advance from Q1, extending a difficult run following frustrations in Austria.
  • Pol Espargaró rides in place of the injured Maverick Viñales and starts 12th, while Aleix Espargaró sits out the weekend after an L3 vertebra fracture.
  • Balaton Park debuts at 4.08 km with 17 corners and relatively low top speeds, and Ducati’s private test earlier this month is cited as an adaptation edge for its riders.
