BALATONFOKAJAR, Hungary :Ducati's Marc Marquez delivered a masterclass at the Balaton Park Circuit on Sunday, winning the first Hungarian Grand Prix in 33 years to secure his seventh straight sprint-race double and stretch his championship lead to a commanding 175 points.

KTM's Pedro Acosta and Aprilia's Marco Bezzecchi joined Marquez on the podium as reigning champion Jorge Martin came fourth - his best finish on the Aprilia since his return from injuries.

Gresini Racing's Alex Marquez, second in the championship behind his brother, could only manage 14th place after an early fall.

Against the picturesque backdrop of the largest lake in central Europe, polesitter Marquez lost the lead on lap one to drop out of the podium positions but his tyre strategy proved decisive.
