Pedro Acosta left Balaton Park with a second place and a brilliant one-liner. The KTM rider led Marquez by over a second in the early stages on the soft tyre before the reigning champion, running the more durable medium, closed the gap and completed a pass at the Turn 9/10 chicane before pulling away. Acosta said Marquez passed him like he was a mobile chicane and just disappeared. He said the first win will arrive soon. He keeps believing.
