Hungary MotoGP Mid-Race Dangerous Moments: Lecuona, Balatonda Acted Cautiously!
Following a major crash at the first corner of the MotoGP race in Hungary, one of the survivors, Iker Lecuona, narrowly avoided being involved in the accident after noticing Jorge Martin losing control of his motorcycle just in time. This event was intertwined with a traumatic experience he had previously undergone.
Details of the Crash and Lecuona’s Reaction
The center of the incident was Jorge Martin’s loss of control over his motorcycle during braking at the first corner. Lecuona stated that when he saw Martin's movement, he realized that other riders around him were also braking more intensely because they understood a danger was approaching. “When I saw Martin’s initial move, myself and everyone around me braked harder because we realized there was a danger coming.” He added that the track surface was also very challenging, causing the motorcycle to wobble as it entered the corner.
At that moment, Lecuona's mind recalled the serious WorldSBK crash he had experienced at the Balaton Park Circuit last year. After breaking his arm in a multi-rider crash during the 2025 season, Lecuona instinctively slammed on the brakes when he saw Martin’s movement, almost stopping the motorcycle completely. “Yes, to be honest, the accident I had last year came to mind.” He emphasized this situation.
Race Result and Lecuona’s Performance
Anticipating a halt to the race due to expectations of a red flag, Lecuona realized that the situation was under control when the race continued after the crash at the first corner. Following the crash, riders such as Marco Bezzecchi, Fabio Di Giannantonio, Raul Fernandez and Fermin Aldeguer experienced significant time losses.
Having avoided being involved in the accident, Lecuona completed the first lap in 13th place before making an impressive comeback. The Spanish rider rose to tenth place during the race, climbing as high as eighth after Joan Mir’s disqualification, and overtook Jack Miller in the final lap to finish seventh. This result was Lecuona's best MotoGP ranking since Silverstone 2021. “It’s really great to finish within the top seven in MotoGP after returning.” he expressed his joy.
Team and Rider Thanks
Lecuona thanked Ducati, Gresini and Aruba teams for his performance. “I need to thank Ducati, Gresini and Aruba teams for this opportunity.” he said, expressing his satisfaction with his performance. He also stated that he saw the group’s potential and was not among the last in the group this weekend.
Future Plans and Alex Marquez’s Situation
Whether the Spanish rider will return to his MotoGP motorcycle at the Czech GP will depend on Alex Marquez's health status. Focusing on the Misano weekend before the MotoGP race, Lecuona stated that he had no clear information about Brno. “Currently, my only focus is to recover physically before Misano.” he indicated and added that he hoped Alex Marquez would return. “I don’t know anything about Brno at this time.” He emphasized the uncertainty.
