The Hungarian moved into the lead at the start, and despite some early pressure from Andrea Iannone, never looked like being beaten as he opened a gap over the rest of the field, winning by three seconds.
Iannone's early pace proved to be costly for him in the end, slipping to tenth by the end of the race. Instead, it was Bradley Smith who was the only rider who looked like being any threat to Talmacsi in the closing laps, moving into third early in the race before taking second just before half-distance, but unable to catch the winner.
The battle for third was hot throughout the race, Smith involved in the early laps, Iannone later in the race, along with Stefan Bradl, Simone Corsi, Pol Espargaro and Sandro Cortese. Bradl's hopes ended when he was forced to retire at two-thirds distance.
In the closing laps the group was whittled down to a battle between di Meglio, Corsi and Cortese, the trio entering the final lap in that order.
And so it stayed until the final corner, when Corsi and Cortese both passed di Meglio, Corsi taking the final podium place ahead of Cortese as the 2008 world champion fell from third to fifth.
