Marc Marquez extended his winning run at Balaton Park by taking victory in the Hungarian GP, his 14th in a row, equalling the all-time record. The Ducati factory team rider also claimed his seventh double of the 2025 season, further strengthening his place at the top of the standings. The race marked MotoGP’s return to Hungary for the first time since 1992. The start brought early issues for Marquez as he ran wide at the opening corner, allowing Marco Bezzecchi on the Aprilia to move ahead. Franco Morbidelli also joined the contest, briefly putting Marquez on the back foot. The championship leader responded on lap five with a move on Morbidelli and then passed Bezzecchi by lap nine to regain control of the race. From there, Marquez set the pace and did not relinquish his advantage.
