Marc Marquez says only mistakes from his MotoGP rivals will give him a chance of fighting near the front at Balaton Park.
Marc Marquez acknowledges that he will only have a shot at a podium in the upcoming Hungarian MotoGP if his competitors commit errors. Despite displaying glimpses of his previous speed by qualifying as the top Ducati rider in fourth place at Mugello, Marquez ended up finishing seventh, over ten seconds adrift of the race winner. After a quick turnaround from the previous race to Balaton Park, Marquez doesn’t anticipate a significant improvement in his physical condition and knows it will take weeks to recover fully. While the circuit layout at Balaton Park should benefit him more, he downplays his chances of contending for victory and acknowledges that competitors like Bezzecchi and Martin are currently performing at a higher level. Marquez heads into the weekend ranked eighth in the championship standings, trailing Bezzecchi by 102 points following Bezzecchi’s win at Mugello.
