Toni Elias had to battle hard, but it all paid back with a second position in today's Turkish Grand Prix. A perfect start from row four allowed the Spaniard to battle with the leading riders and Elias slid his way spectacularly through to second place by the tenth lap, a position he maintained to the end of the race.
Elias said about his Turkish delight: "It was like a 125 race with some unbelievable passes. I concentrated on getting a perfect start and made as many passes as I could on the opening laps but I got stuck behind Hopkins for too long. Once I got past him my pace was good and I was also able to take Rossi. I couldn't challenge for the lead because Casey was so fast so I decided to focus on maintaining my position. I have to thank the team and Bridgestone for the faith they have shown in me. I feel mature and confident because I still think we can improve even more."
