Live Commentary

  1. 0/20 Di Meglio is on his victory lap and milking it for all it's worth. He deserves it, after a wonderfully composed ride. Thanks for joining me, we're onto the 250s now.

  2. 0/20 DI MEGLIO WINS IT!!! WHAT A RACE FROM THE FRENCHMAN! Espargaro in second, and Talmacsi in third. Redding comes in sixth for 10 points. Webb in 11th, Smith in 14th.

  3. 1/20 FINAL LAP...Di Meglio still leads, but Espargaro and Talmacsi are lurking ominously.

  4. 2/20 TIROL IS OFF!!! It's all happening in Spain, they're going down all over the place. What a final lap we're in for here. It's Di Meglio, Espargaro and Talmacsi for the win.

  5. 3/20 Olive and Talmacsi are up their too! Five in the lead now. BUT OLIVE IS OUT!!! HE SLIDES ON THE GRAVEL AND HIS RACE IS OVER!! HE'S MAD..REAL MAD. The boot comes flying off.

  6. 3/20 ESPARGARO HAS CAUGHT THE LEADERS! Great riding from the Spaniard, he appears to have hung back, holding on, before picking his moment to make for a leading trio.

  7. 4/20 Four to go and it's Di Meglio from Terol, with Espargaro in third. This one's set up for an interesting finish. Andrea Iannone is out and hurt, but he's well enough to send a wave to his mother from the stretcher.

  8. 6/20 Di Meglio and Terol still out ahead. Di Meglio has the advantage now. Olive is third, and getting closer to the leaders.

  9. 7/20 Gadea is in 14th, having got back on the track after his collision with Terol.

  10. 8/20 Eight laps remaining and we have some yellow flag action - but they're quickly removed. Alexis Masbou crashed, according to the reports we're getting. More info to follow. Webb is still in 14th, Smith back in 21st.

  11. 9/20 Leading pair of Di Meglio and Terol with a second lead on the chasing five behind. They're not gaining further advantage, however. Terol nips in front for the moment, before his home crowd.

  12. 10/22 Danny Webb is up in the points, in 14th. Good work from the Briton, who started in 20th on the grid.

  13. 11/20 Corsi into third, and a full second behind Di Meglio in the lead. Ivan Maestro - great name - is out of the race and on the gravel.

  14. 13/22 Group of seven out in front - the winner will come from the leading back surely. It's Di Meglio, Terol, Espargaro, Joan Olive, Corsi and Redding. Di Meglio and Terol have opened a small gap now.

  15. 15/22 GADEA IS IN THE GRAVEL!!!! The Spaniard clipped Terol on a bend and ended up off the track. Aggresive stuff from Terol there, but all part of the competition.

  16. 15/22 Di Meglio, who shares the championship lead with Corsi, maintains first position. Gadea is 0.556 back in second.

  17. 16/22 Bright sunshine here, and superb conditions for rapid racing. Redding is in fourth. Elsewhere Gabor Tasmacsi is into the main pack.

  18. 17/22 Redding is very much in touch. Mike Di Meglio going well on his Derbi, and into the lead. Gadea slipped down the pack to the third.

  19. 19/22 19 laps remaining and not much to separate the first 10 or 15 riders. Redding is up to fifth, and going well.

  20. 20/22 Pablo Nieto is out of the race! Whether it's problems with his bike or his troublesome collarbone we can't be sure. Segio Gadea now leads, from Terol in second and Espargaro in third.

  21. 22/22 And they're off!!! Pol Espargaro on pole keeps his lead with a good start. Simone Corsi up out of his seat and giving it some. Nicolas Terol comes through to lead 30 seconds in!!

  22. - Warm up lap coming to a close...and we're almost ready to go.

  23. - Good morning race fans! Welcome to our LIVE!! uninterupted coverage of today's MotoGP action. Engines at the ready, the 125s are off first, with Britain's Scott Redding fourth and on the grid and Bradley Smith sixth.
