Tony Elias is enroute to claiming his fourth consecutive Moto2 race. Elias claimed the pole position today in Misano, beaing out Scott Redding and Julian Simon.
Despite having three consecutive race wins, this is only Elias' second pole position win of the 2010 Moto2 season. Elias hasn't started from the front row of the grid since the opening round in Qatar.
Scott Redding missed out on the pole position by just .04 seconds, but earned his second consecutive front row start, and will be aiming for another podium finish. Julian Simon and Jules Cluzel will complete the front row, while Elias' biggest competition, Andrea Iannone will start from the front of row two.
Iannone might have been able to earn a better qualifying position, but his session was cut short by a mechanical problem. Simon Corsi, Alex De Angelis, and Shoya Tomizawa will complete the second row.
