Pecco Bagnaia suggests Balaton Park hasn’t changed for 2026 because MotoGP is moving to a new Hungarian GP circuit
Pecco Bagnaia mentioned that Balaton Park’s layout hasn’t been altered due to safety concerns, anticipating MotoGP’s move to another track in 2027. The Hungarian Grand Prix made a comeback at the new Balaton Park venue last year after its last appearance in 1992, stirring safety controversies due to the tight layout. Safety issues were exemplified when Pedro Acosta’s crash during qualifying led to his bike hitting the camera tower at the circuit’s side. Bagnaia disclosed no layout changes this year, as the event will relocate next year, possibly to the Hungaroring, according to unofficial reports. Tech3’s Enea Bastianini highlighted potential safety challenges at Balaton Park, emphasizing the importance of rider safety discussions for MotoGP’s future.
