Balaton (Hungary), 2 June 2026 – After a historic weekend in Mugello, Aprilia Racing is ready to get back on the track for the eighth round of the season at the Balaton Park Circuit in Hungary (5-7 June 2026).
Marco Bezzecchi heads to Hungary as championship leader, fresh from an extremely high-level performance in Mugello where he took pole position and his first win in the long race on the Tuscan track. This was the Italian rider’s fourth victory of the season and a win with special significance, achieved in his and Aprilia Racing’s home race.
Jorge Martín will be tackling the Hungarian weekend after another positive result in Mugello where he took home two second-place finishes between the sprint race and the long race, confirming his competitiveness on the RS-GP26.
Located near Lake Balaton in Hungary, Balaton Park opened in 2023. It was added officially to the MotoGP calendar last year, marking the top class’s return to Hungary after a 33-year long absence. The track is 4.08 km long and has a total of 17 corners – ten left-handers and seven right-handers.
