Gabor Talmacsi has taken his first leading class point at the Alice Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland. Fifteenth in Germany caused the Hungarian a historic acknowledgement that has not yet satisfied his desire for greater things before the end of the year.

"I got my first point in MotoGP, today and I'm happy for that,” said Talmacsi. “It is something that will stay in my record. Nevertheless, we want to progress more.”

Similar to team mates Dani Pedrosa and Andrea Dovizioso, Talmacsi had to travel around tyre deterioration in the front during the course of the race which went for 30-laps. An error occurred and the 28 year-old handled the problem as well as anybody else has so far this year, even though he has some degree of limited 800cc experience.

“Maybe I overrode, but I had some problems with the front tyre, and from a certain moment on I could not keep in contact with my group,” he stated afterwards. “I tried to find a good rhythm and go as fast as I could. I'm confident: we all have the same target: to fight for good positions. We have simply to work hard.”

Talmacsi has picked up his placing at each race in which he has contended.
