Triple 100: A record-breaking Sunday for Ducati Corse who, in Ducati's centenary year, reach the milestone of 100 MotoGP victories with the factory team at Balaton Park

• Marc Márquez scores his 100th Grand Prix win, while Francesco Bagnaia steps onto the podium in third
  

The Ducati Lenovo Team completed the perfect weekend at Balaton Park by securing their 100th MotoGP victory courtesy of Marc Márquez, who in turn claimed his 100th Grand Prix win (his 74th in MotoGP). Francesco Bagnaia rounded out the podium in third position.

Márquez got a good launch from pole position but lost the lead on lap two. From lap six onwards, Marc gradually closed the gap to Acosta before overtaking him — after several attempts — on lap fifteen, then pulling away to secure his first Sunday victory of the season. After avoiding the turn-one incident, Bagnaia made his way up to third place during the opening lap and then managed the situation intelligently to secure his third consecutive Grand Prix podium.

As the eighth Grand Prix of the season draws to a close, Marc Márquez is fifth in the championship standings with 108 points. Francesco Bagnaia is seventh, nine points behind his teammate. The Ducati Lenovo Team is second in the teams' standings (207 points), while Ducati sits second in the constructors' championship (225 points).

The Ducati Lenovo Team will be back in action on Friday, June 19th, for the opening day of the Grand Prix of Czechia at Brno.

Marc Márquez (#93 Ducati Lenovo Team) – 1st
“We did an incredible job. The secret, in my opinion, was managing the effort on Friday: this allowed me to get to Saturday, and especially today, in the best possible shape. Obviously, I gave it everything today and luckily the choice of the medium tyre paid off in the closing stages, otherwise it would have been a lot harder. Now we'll see how things go at Brno and Assen because, once again, things went better here due to the higher number of left-handers. This win came after a challenging period of surgeries and recovery, but it was worth it. As always, we need to stay positive and continue along this recovery path.”

Francesco Bagnaia (#63 Ducati Lenovo Team) – 3rd
“The first goal for today was to get a better start. Luckily, when I released the clutch, the rear tyre spun slightly; otherwise, I would have been caught up in the turn-one incident as well. I managed to overtake Moreira and Marini straight away and then tried to stay with Pedro (Acosta), but I wasn't able to match their lap times as I continued to struggle with grip. When they started to push harder, I focused on managing my margin over the riders behind. The podium is a good result, especially after the difficult start to the weekend, as it allowed us to score some important points. We need to keep working ahead of the upcoming races on bike stability in the changes of direction as well as on grip.”

Luigi Dall'Igna – Ducati Corse General Manager
“No words can describe what Marc was able to achieve today. I'm emotionally exhausted, as I was expecting a much calmer race, but obviously I'm also extremely happy for him and the team. He's a true champion. This is Marc's 100th Grand Prix win as well as the Ducati Lenovo Team's 100th MotoGP victory; we couldn't have asked for more. Now it's time to celebrate this success before turning our attention to Brno.”
