Talmacsi awarded pole in Moto2

Former MotoGP rider Gabor Talmacsi has taken his first Moto2 pole position as his quick time at the end of Friday afternoon practice proved crucial when qualifying was cancelled due to poor weather at Estoril. All three world championship classes saw their qualifying sessions called off amid persistent downpours, but the Moto2 field had at least managed to get a little bit of running on slicks as the track dried in practice two. Speed Up rider Talmacsi's 1m50.916s lap in that session therefore gave him pole, ahead of Julian Simon (Aspar Suter) and champion Toni Elias (Gresini Moriwaki)
