Moto2: Simon on pole in Malaysia
Julian Simon will try to make Toni Elias wait at least a week before celebrating Moto2 title victory, after taking pole position🙈 at Sepang on Saturday.
Elias is 81 points ahead of Simon and will be a world champion for the fi🐽rst time if he can leave Sepang with a lead of at least 76 points.
Elias will start from the outside of the front row in fourth for Gresini Moriwaki, with Alex de Angelis (JiR) and Thomas Luthi (Interwetten) between the two t🦋itle rival👍s.
