Bradl takes first victory at Brno

Stefan Bradl scored the first 125cc win of his career in this morning's Brno race.

The 19-year-old German rider managed to break away from the pack and establish a comfortable advantage by 125cc standards, and although championship leader Mike di Meglio closed in towards the end, Bradl was able to hang on and clinch the win by 0.8 seconds.

Joan Olive emerged on top of a tense battle for third place, edging out reigning champion Gabor Talmacsi by 0.038 seconds as they crossed the line.

Nicolas Terol and Bradley Smith completed the top six, ahead of di Meglio's main title rival Sandro Cortese.
