Marc Marquez is considered a top contender at the Grand Prix Hungary despite downplaying his own chances ahead of the event. The Honda rider, who has shown strong form since returning from surgery, is regaining competitive momentum according to expert analysis.

Neil Hodgson highlighted Marquez's improving performance, suggesting the six-time MotoGP champion may now be racing at a higher level post-recovery. His resurgence keeps him in contention for the overall title, even at this stage of the season.

The race weekend also saw a close incident between Toprak Razgatlioglu and Ai Ogura, drawing attention from fans and commentators alike. While not directly impacting Marquez, the moment added to the weekend's drama.
