Aprilia completely implodes, while Marquez...only adds to the Marc mystique. I recap all of the MotoGP action - and craziness - at Balaton Park, and talk about how it affects the MotoGP Championship! <br /><br /><b>The Rundown:</b><br /><br />- Balaton Park! My Recap of an eventful HungarianGP<br />- Qualifying: Marc says he's good for one lap. That may not have been totally truthful<br />- Sprint: Marc is back, and Acosta does what he can<br />- Ducati looks better than Aprilia. Well...at least Marc does<br />- MotoGP Race: Hey, Jorge - look out for those Apri--- oops, oh well...<br />- The Martin wreck - that was...not ideal<br />- Marquez-Acosta - did that short battle give Marc the extra motivation he needed?<br />- Pecco was a bit lucky - but who cares when you get a trophy?<br />- Morbidelli and Binder need to explain themselves.<br />- The Championship picture: and, just like that, Marc gets a lifeline<br />- My take on the HungarianGP: where were the fans?<br /><br />What did you think of Balaton Park?
