Moto2 Brno: Toni Elias wins and lengthens championship lead

Toni Elias stretched his Moto2 Championship lead in today’s race by taking his fourth race win of the season at Brno.
The Spaniard emerged the winner after several riders battled it out for the lead at the beginning of the race until the field began to thin out with Andrea Iannone grabbing the lead on lap 6 and began to pull away, but Elias wasn’t having any and began to hunt down the Italian with Roberto Rolfo hot on his tail.

After several passing attempts Elias took the the lead on lap 14 from Iannone with Rolfo also passing Iannone.
The battle wasn’t over, Rolfo then grabbed the lead from but went wide letting the Gresini rider through.
One lap later Rolfo’s Suter MMX suffered an engine failure and had to pull out of the race leaving Iannone in second.

While Elias started lengthening his lead, Iannone got caught up with hard charging Yuki Takahashi who after passing Jules Cluzel started his attack on the Italian and on the final lap with a Iannone making a small braking mistake the Japanese rider went through to take the second spot on the podium and his second podium of the season.

Cluzel took fourth followed by Julian Simon, Gabor Talmacsi, Alex Debon, Simone Corsi and Stefan Bradl.
Tomizawa who was the poleman faded back to close out the top ten.
Karel Abraham, who will move to MotoGP next year on a sixth Ducati, was not able to start the race after his two crashes in yesterday’s qualifying session.
