Marc Marquez celebrates his 7th GP win in a row in Hungary
Keystone
Marc Marquez continues to be unstoppable in the MotoGP World Championship. After the sprint on Saturday, the Spaniard also won the Hungarian Grand Prix, thus completing his seventh double in a row.
However, the six-time MotoGP World Champion was given nothing as a gift in Hungary on the return of the racing series after a 33-year absence. Although Marquez started from pole position on his Ducati, he dropped back to fourth after a contact with Marco Bezzecchi's Aprilia in turn two.
He then fought a thrilling duel with the Italian before passing him in his typical manner before the halfway point of the race and was no longer able to catch him at the front.
With his tenth Grand Prix victory this year, Marc Marquez extended his lead in the world championship standings to 175 points after 14 of 22 race weekends. His closest rival, brother Alex Marquez, crashed early on and had to settle for 14th place. The podium was completed by Spaniard Pedro Acosta and Bezzecchi.
In the Moto3 class, Noah Dettwiler also missed out on a tangible result at his 14th attempt this season. The 20-year-old from Solothurn finished 18th in Spaniard Maximo Quiles' second win of the season.
