Iker Lecuona gives himself '10 out of 10' after an impressive MotoGP return at Balaton Park

Iker Lecuona delivered a strong MotoGP comeback at Balaton Park, racing for Gresini Ducati after being drafted in when Alex Marquez was sidelined for the Hungarian Grand Prix. It marked his first MotoGP appearance since Qatar 2023 with LCR Honda. Lecuona qualified 16th, finished 18th in the Sprint, and climbed to seventh in the main race after 26 laps, benefiting from an opening-corner incident that felled several front-runners. He told Speedweek the comeback felt positive, praising speed and potential, and noting he rode wider lines to gain positions. He rated his performance a personal '10 out of 10' after the widely watched return.
