Marc Márquez Returns to Winning Form With Double Victory in Hungary

The double win narrows Márquez's title gap as the paddock fights over who was to blame for a multi‑rider crash that exposed low‑grip asphalt at the circuit.

Overview

  • Marc Márquez took pole and won both the Sprint and the Grand Prix at the Hungarian round, marking a clear return to top form after recent surgeries.
  • Earlier this season Márquez underwent shoulder screw revision surgery after a crash in Indonesia and a double operation for a broken fifth metatarsal before returning to race fitness.
  • Despite the Hungary success Márquez remains 72 points behind the championship leader but Ducati leadership says the many remaining races keep the title mathematically open.
  • The Hungary race featured a multi‑rider collision that began when Jorge Martín made an aggressive start, suffered strong front‑end wobbling, lost control and collided with Marco Bezzecchi and others.
  • Reactions split the paddock: Aprilia CEO Massimo Rivola publicly blamed Martín entirely, Pecco Bagnaia defended Martín and pointed to the circuit's new low‑grip asphalt, and Ducati team figures praised Márquez's recovery and ongoing technical work by engineers.
