Results:

Pol Espargaro won the 125cc race at Estoril, after a race-long battle with Bradley Smith and Sandro Cortese. Julian Simon had led from early on, after Bradley Smith had nudged Nicolas Terol into the gravel, but a costly mistake by the Spaniard saw him run off and rejoin the race down in 13th, the position he would finish in. Espargaro won the last lap battle for victory, coming home ahead of Cortese and Smith. Smith's 3rd place helped Simon's hopes of wrapping up the title early greatly, the Spaniard now 50.5 points ahead of Smith, and Simon should clinch the 125cc World Championship at the next race at Phillip Island.
