Starting at pole could vault Ogura to Moto2 title


AI OGURA put himself in the best position to claim the Moto2 world title today after taking pole position in the Malaysia Grand Prix at the Sepang International Circuit.

A consistent run with only one set of tyres saw the 21-year-old, riding a Kalex for Idemitsu Honda Team Asia, place himself perfectly ahead of his title rival Augusto Fernandez of Spain by grabbing pole in the penultimate round of the world championship yesterday.
