Marc Marquez (Ducati Lenovo Team) once again proved unstoppable as he powered to his seventh consecutive win of the 2025 MotoGP season, dominating the Michelin Grand Prix of Hungary with a 4.3-second margin over Pedro Acosta (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing).
The victory not only cements Marquez’s flawless run this season but also marks his 22nd career win at a different circuit, underlining the Spaniard’s relentless march toward a seventh MotoGP world title.
The race began with chaos as Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) was forced to start from pit lane due to a technical fault. On the opening lap, Marquez clashed with Bezzecchi at Turn 2, allowing the Italian to lead ahead of teammate Franco Morbidelli. Meanwhile, Enea Bastianini (Red Bull KTM Tech3) and Alex Marquez (BK8 Gresini Racing) both crashed out early, disrupting the rhythm of the pack.
By Lap 5, Marquez overtook Morbidelli to slot into second, steadily closing in on Bezzecchi. After multiple attempts, the eight-time world champion made his move stick on Lap 11 at Turn 1 and never looked back, pulling away with successive fastest laps to build an unassailable lead.
While Marquez controlled the front, Pedro Acosta surged past Bezzecchi on Lap 16 to claim second—his second podium in the last three races. Bezzecchi’s consistency remained intact, recording his fourth podium in five outings and keeping him firmly in the fight for third in the championship standings.
Reigning world champion Jorge Martin delivered his best performance of the season for Aprilia, charging from P16 on the grid to finish P4, narrowly missing out on a podium. His teammate Luca Marini (Honda HRC Castrol) also impressed, securing a top-five finish alongside Morbidelli, who had to settle for sixth after a late penalty.
KTM enjoyed a standout day with Brad Binder and Pol Espargaro joining Acosta in the top seven, marking a triple success for the Austrian manufacturer. Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia lost ground after a late mistake, finishing ninth, while Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha) rounded out the top 10 following a Long Lap penalty.
Further down the order, Ai Ogura (Trackhouse), Miguel Oliveira (Prima Pramac Yamaha), Alex Rins, Alex Marquez, and Di Giannantonio collected the remaining points, though it was a weekend to forget for the latter two after early setbacks.
With seven straight wins and a commanding 175-point lead, Marc Marquez has tightened his grip on the 2025 MotoGP crown. The #93 continues to set new benchmarks, combining experience, racecraft, and relentless pace in a season that increasingly looks like his to lose.
