MotoGP Hungary: Will the positive trend of Marc Marquez cut off in Balaton Park?

FAJAR.CO.ID, JAKARTA-MotoGP Hungary 2025 is ready to be held on 22-24 August at the Balaton Park Circuit. The 14th series of this season is in the spotlight because Marc Marquez is in extraordinary performance, but intense competition has the potential to stop the positive trend.

MotoGP Hungary returned to the racing calendar after the last time it was held in 1992. If previously using the Hungaroring Circuit, the riders will now try new tracks in Balaton Park, Hungaria. With the equally new track for all racers, it is difficult to predict who will be victorious.

Even so, Marc Marquez is still favored. The Ducati Lenovo racer appeared dominant throughout the season with a score of 12 sprint race wins and 9 wins in the main race. In fact, he successfully recorded six consecutive wins in both the Sprint Race and the main race.

However, the resistance signal came from his teammate, Francesco Bagnaia. In the private test at Balaton Park during the last summer, Bagnaia recorded a faster time than Marquez. Through uploads on Instagram, Bagnaia revealed her best note to reach 1 minute 41.468 seconds.

On the other hand, Motorsport.com reported Marquez recorded 1: 41.5, only thin adrift of Bagnaia. These results show that Marquez is still not completely comfortable on the new track.

With that capital, Bagnaia has a great chance to stop Marquez’s dominance at the Hungary GP. The question also arises, whether the positive trend of Marquez will continue, or even Balaton Park is the turning point of competition for the title this season. (zak/dawn)
