Marc VDS Racing Team's Scott Redding is the man firmly in charge as the Moto2™ filed descends on Mugello for the fifth race of the championship at the Gran Premio d'Italia TIM.Following his first-ever win in Moto2™ with a calculated ride in Le Mans in tricky conditions, the Brit will be hopeful that this signals the start of a winning streak. However he will face fierce competition, arguably none more so than from Tuenti HP 40 riders Esteve Rabat and Pol Espargaro, who aim to get back to winning ways after both simultaneously crashed out of the race in France. Italtrans Racing Team's Takaaki Nakagami will be a similar threat, with the Japanese also underestimating conditions as he was leading the last race before dropping his bike in the gravel.Redding's teammate Mika Kallio is proving to be an ever-lurking threat, whilst Desguaces La Torre SAG Maptaq's Xavier Simeon will be brimming with confidence after his podium in Le Mans. Technomag carXpert's Dominique Aegerter, who currently lies fourth in the world championship has been a steady performer throughout and could pose a podium threat, whilst the likes of Mapfre Aspar Team Moto2's Nico Terol, Came IodaRacing Project's Johann Zarco and NGM Mobile Forward Racing's Alex de Angelis and Mattia Pasini will also be ones to watch.The Moto2™ grid will be graced with one wildcard in Mugello in the shape of Frenchman Lucas Mahias with the Prosport Moto team.World Championship Standings Moto2™1- Scott Redding GBR Kalex 762- Tito Rabat SPA Kalex 523- Mika Kallio FIN Kalex 474- Dominique Aegerter SWI Suter 47 5- Pol Espargaro SPA Kalex 41
