The Ducati rider, Marc Márquez, has expressed that he does not expect to have options to secure a podium place in the upcoming Hungarian Grand Prix. Despite having achieved an impressive victory on his first visit to Balaton Park in 2025, Márquez considers that the current situation is drastically different.
Less than a year after dominating several races, the rider finds himself in a complicated moment in his recovery from recent surgery. This intervention was necessary to address a nerve problem that was causing him discomfort. In recent statements, he said: “No, I can forget about that. If I fight to win or defend a place on the podium, it means that others are not at their best”.
In recent events, riders like Marco Bezzecchi and Jorge Martín have shown superior performance, prompting Márquez to adopt a mindset more focused on his recovery than on competing for the top positions.
Speaking about his physical condition, he indicated that he has started to notice improvements, but still needs time to regain strength in his injured arm. A serious accident at Le Mans pushed him toward surgery, and his recovery remains a priority. “The nerve was affected and the muscle strength was not adequate. Now I feel changes, but there is still a long way to go,” Márquez added.
