Nico Terol continued his domination of the 125cc championship with a second straight win in damp conditions at Jerez.The Spaniard spent much of the race battling with his Aspar team-mate Hector Faubel, but with the 2007 series runner-up crashing on the final lap, Terol was able to cruise home with a comfortable margin over wet-weather stars Jonas Folger and Johann Zarco.Terol had taken the lead at the start from second on the grid and pulled away while Faubel was embroiled in a battle for second with Efren Vazquez and impressive Portuguese rookie Miguel Oliveira.
Rookie Oliveira's podium bid ended with a violent crash - from which he walked away unhurt - at the final corner on lap six.Third place was then disputed, in spectacular style, by poleman Sandro Cortese, Vazquez, Folger, Zarco and Maverick Vinales. The latter dropped back with a seemingly damaged bike after a brush with one of his rivals, and Vazquez and Cortese would both eventually crash out.Folger then pulled away from Zarco to secure what would become second, as he equalled his career-best result nearly two years after his maiden podium at Le Mans, and Zarco claimed his first ever 125cc rostrum visit.
Young British riders Danny Kent and Taylor Mackenzie rode superbly in the conditions to come through to fourth and fifth ahead of the recovering Cortese.Jakub Kornfeil got up to seventh, Hiroki Ono was eighth in only his second 125cc grand prix, with Vazquez getting back on for ninth and Zulfahmi Khairuddin clinching a top-10 finish for the first time in 10th.
