Following the Hungarian GP, Bezzecchi (Aprilia) maintains the MotoGP 2026 championship lead with 180 points. He's followed by Martin with 160, Di Giannantonio with 138, Acosta with 132, Marquez with 108, and Ai Ogura in sixth with 105.
Who could have predicted Aprilia sweeping 1st through 3rd — from what I've seen out in the field, the Aprilia package finally coming together is this season's biggest storyline. Marquez sitting at 108 points, 72 behind, needs win-level performance nearly every round to turn it around, but with the feel of a throttle still in my fingers, I say it's too early to write him off. The second half could still swing on a single collision.

Acosta 4th with 132 points - it's fun watching the young riders actually climb up the standings.
Marquez dropping to 5th with 108 points really shows the changing of the guard.
Marquez was riding hurt on the shoulder, so this ranking probably doesn't reflect his real form.
Is Aoi Ogiwara Japanese? 6th place is impressive, isn't it?
Right, a Japanese rookie - 6th place with 105 points is a strong showing.
Bezzecchi at 180, Martin at 160 - a 20-point gap, that could still flip completely.
Depends how many races are left, but a 20-point gap is within closing range in a single race.
So Bezzecchi finished Hungary in the lead - Aprilia's genuinely fast this year.
