Marquez: Strategy Worked Better Than Expected
Marc Márquez had a perfect MotoGP Saturday in Hungary. He initially secured pole position and then demonstrated power in the sprint race with an outstanding performance, matching the level of the world champion. Notably impressive was how MM93 achieved his 18th sprint victory: he made a flawless start and continuously widened his advantage over KTM pilot Pedro Acosta. After two laps, the gap already exceeded one second, and after five laps, it rose to two seconds. The Ducati factory rider maintained this advantage until the final lap, crossing the finish line approximately 1.5 seconds ahead of Márquez in the last corner.
Race Details
Márquez’s relaxed demeanor and smooth flow allowed fans to compare him to his version from last year. While progressing calmly on the Desmosedici, he always felt like he could gain more ground. “I rested on Friday and tried to conserve my energy. This morning, I did everything I could because, as we saw in the race, starting from the front is a huge advantage,” the Spanish pilot said after the race. “My strategy was to apply pressure from the start – if I still felt fresh – and ultimately survive. The strategy worked better than expected.”
Future Race Planning
With this performance, Márquez began to be considered the favorite for the Sunday Grand Prix. “Tomorrow there will be a longer race. I’ll see how I manage it. However, unlike last year, I am slower here,” the 33-year-old pilot looked ahead. “The key is to understand when my power is decreasing. Although my mental side remains constantly in racing mode, my body cannot keep up. I have to be very careful because if I make a small mistake in the corners and change my body position on the bike – for example, as in Le Mans – it could lead to an accident. We don’t want that. It's difficult to understand what happens with adrenaline, but you feel your body getting harder lap after lap.”
Marquez was now considered a favorite in the championship race following the painful processes of recent months.
