Marc Marquez extended his winning streak with another dominant display at Balaton Park, securing his seventh consecutive Grand Prix victory to complete another sprint-race double.
The Ducati Lenovo rider now stands as close as he has ever been to rewriting his own records, with this latest win marking the second-best winning run of his career.
The race began with Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi taking the holeshot into Turn 1, and, after some contact through Turn 2, forcing polesitter Marquez back to third.

Franco Morbidelli briefly slotted into second, but Marquez wasted no time cutting back through.
By lap five, he was past the Italian, and two laps later, he lined up Bezzecchi after closing the Aprilia rider’s 1.2-second lead within less than two laps.
His first two attempts at the lead failed, but on lap 11, Marquez made the move stick into Turn 1.
By lap 12, the Spaniard’s lead grew to more than a second, and, with Pedro Acosta and Marco Bezzecchi briefly held up in a battle for P2, it should only extend further from there.
Having previously moved past Morbidelli, Acosta quickly dispatched Bezzecchi after the Italian overshot the final chicane, losing a lot of drive onto the main straight.
The ride of the afternoon came from reigning champion Jorge Martin. Starting a lowly 16th, the Aprilia rider carved through the field.
By lap four, he had already gained a whopping ten positions when rookie Fermin Aldeguer crashed on lap 14, promoting the reigning World Champion to 5th.

Martin’s charge up the field, however, should not end there. It was only after overtaking Franco Morbidelli for P4 that the Spaniard ran out of laps to challenge for what would have been a miracle podium finish.
Following a late scrap, Honda’s Luca Marini completed the top five after the Italian’s VR46 Academy compatriot Morbidelli was told to give up one position for cutting a chicane in the fight for fifth.
Brad Binder only narrowly missed out on a Top 6 finish, running out of time to launch an attack against the fading Morbidelli in front of him, while his KTM colleague Pol Espargaro put in a steady run to eighth.
The Spaniard beat Pecco Bagnaia in the late stages of the race after the Italian was forced to serve a long lap penalty for exceeding track limits.
Fabio Quartararo rounded out the top ten on the Yamaha, ahead of Ai Ogura’s Trackhouse entry.
The race featured an extensive crash list with Enea Bastianini, Alex Marquez, Johann Zarco, Raul Fernandez, and Joan Mir all hitting the deck. Pramac rider Jack Miller took it one further and crashed twice.
