As we expected after two days of torrential rain, today’s Moto2 race at Estoril on a drying track, offered some big and exciting surprises, with Stefan Bradl taking the win by a mere 0.
068s, in one the best races of the season against Alex Baldolini.
Bradl took his first Moto2 win, from 10th on the grid, in a race that saw World Supersport champion Kenan Sofuoglu, in his debut in Moto2 riding for Techncomag CIP and the first time at Estoril, lose an amazing lead of over seven seconds, battling with problems on his left handlebar and a fading rear tire grip.

Sofuoglu would also be denied a third place podium by hard charging Alex de Angelis and fourth place by Scott Redding who beat him to the chequered flag in a nine rider battle.
The race also saw several high profile crashers, Andrea Iannone who teared through the field from 34th on the field to fourth place and then crashed out, but managed to rejoin the race to finish 21st.
Moto2 Champion Toni Elias also crashed, re-started and then pulled into the pits.

Carmelo Morales returning to Moto2 GP racing held the fifth spot for a while before falling to finish in 20th.
