Toni Elias victory!!! MONSTER ENERGY GRAND PRIX DE FRANCE

Toni Elias, Gresini Racing Moto2 team, onboard MORIWAKI MD600 won the MotoGP Moto2 class at round3 France Grand Prix on Sunday!!!

Elias started from 7th in the grid superbly and moved up to the front in no time.  He rode consistently through the race while his rivals were leaving the track with crashes.  He took his second victory in the class, following the last Jerez, Spain round.

Another 2nd-row starter, Fonsi Nieto, Holiday Gym G22 team battled in 4 in a group to get 5^th, but finished 8th.

Now, Toni Elias moved to the top of the championship standing, and MORIWAKI is narrowing the gap to only 2points to the top of Constructor Championship standing.

Once again, it was a great race for MD600.
