Brno

-- Moto2™
• Takaaki Nakagami starts from pole for the second time this year. Nakagami will be aiming to be the first Japanese rider to win a GP in any class since Yuki Takahashi won the Moto2 race in Catalunya in 2010.
• Pol Espargaro has qualified in second place on the grid. Espargaro set the fastest lap of the Moto2 race last year at Brno on his way to taking the final podium slot.
• In third place on the grid is Esteve Rabat – his first front row start since the Catalunya Grand Prix.
• Mika Kallio heads the second row of the grid, which is his best qualifying result since the opening race of the year in Qatar.
• Sandro Cortese is in fifth place on the grid – his best qualifying result so far in his first season in the Moto2 class. Cortese won the 125cc GP at Brno two years ago which was his first victory in GP racing.
• Championship leader Scott Redding is down in 13th place on the grid, which is his worst qualifying performance since the German GP last year. Redding has not managed to score any points at Brno in his three years in the Moto2 class; he finished 22nd in 2010, 26th in 2011, and last year he crashed at turn three on the first lap.

Following the further medical investigations held on Mike Di Meglio at Brno’s hospital, doctors have confirmed that his situation is comfortable, although they have found a compound fracture to his coccyx that will require the Frenchman to not ride for 30 days. He is now hospitalized in Brno’s hospital where he will be kept under observation for the whole night.

Schitterende race weer, mooi voor Kallio die dit ook wel weer eens verdient
Enge crash met Di Meglio, het had slechter af kunnen lopen, die een maand uitgeschakeld is..
