JAKARTA - Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia Racing Team) is still sitting at the top of the 2026 MotoGP standings even though he failed to get points in the main race of the Hungarian Grand Prix at the weekend due to an accident.
The Italian racer could not increase his lead in the standings due to an incident involving five riders at Turn 1 of the Balaton Park Circuit after the start lights went out on Sunday, June 7, 2026, WIB night.
It all started with a braking maneuver by Jorge Martin. The maneuver made Martin lose control of his bike, triggering contact and dragging his teammate Marco Bezzecchi into the gravel.
Raul Fernandez (Trackhouse), Fermin Aldeguer (BK8 Gresini), and Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) were also affected. Fortunately, Bezzecchi, Fernandez, and Aldeguer are in good condition.
Martin headed to the medical centre for a check-up after the incident. Meanwhile, Giannantonio was able to continue the race even though he lost many positions so he had to settle for finishing in 12th place to get an additional four points.
The problems raised by Martin were also well utilized by seven-time world champion Marc Marquez, who started the race from the front row. He fought to win the battle against Pedro Acosta to climb to the highest podium.
It was Marquez's 100th win in the Grand Prix arena and Ducati's in MotoGP. In addition to winning the main race, The Baby Alien also climbed to the highest podium in the Sprint Race so he took home the maximum points from Balaton Park.
Despite failing to finish in Hungary, Bezzecchi still topped the standings with a collection of 180 points. The 27-year-old rider has a 20-point lead over his teammate, Jorge Martin, who follows in second place.
The two Aprilia riders were followed by Di Giannantonio who completed the top three with a collection of 138 points, Pedro Acosta in fourth place with a collection of 132 points, and Marquez managed to enter the top five after receiving an additional 37 points in Hungary.
The next race is the Czech Grand Prix in Brno on June 19-21, 2026. Martin and Bezzecchi must minimize their mistakes there so they can maintain their lead in the standings.
