So far this season we are seeing a continuous fight between Ducati and Aprilia, between Aprilia and Ducati, to win and in Hungary things are not going to be different. Although it is true that in Mugello, those from Noale dealt a blow to those from Borgo Panigale by taking the Sprint with Raúl Fernández and the GP with the double of Bezzecchi and Martín, it is no less true that there have been other weekends in which the RS-GP have not been so superior.
What will happen in Hungary? It’s hard to know. What is certain is that we arrived at a track where Marc Márquez dominated last year with the Ducati when the Aprilia was already beginning to be highly competitive, and to this we must add that it is a peculiar track and very different from Mugello.
It will be important to have a bike that turns and accelerates well, because the different chicanes can make a difference but, also, it is a track with linked areas where stability is important. So, it is likely that the Aprilias will once again be the most effective although, yes, the danger of the circuit and the possibility of being involved in caroms may have an even greater weight.
And beyond the sporting level, Balaton Park was surrounded by controversy due to homologation last year, and although safety reforms have been carried out, the track has different critical points in which a fall can end with a motorcycle or motorcycle and rider returning to the track.
In any case, what is certain is that all the Aprilia riders and the Ducati drivers, it must be remembered that Lecuona replaces Álex Márquez, will be the ones who fight a priori for the podium positions in the Hungarian GP. Of course, we cannot rule out either Pedro Acosta, who today is KTM’s only stronghold, or the Honda riders, because precisely in Balaton they were competitive last year.
