Talmacsi held out from a rapidly closing Toni Elias to claim the last step on the podium and make it a double podium for the Fimmco Speed Up team.
‰ÛÏWe have been trying very hard all season, but to begin with I didn‰Ûªt have the same feeling with the bike that Andrea has. But we never gave up and we always kept trying, so this first Moto2 podium is a big reward for that. During this second part of the season me and the team understand each other better, so the bike is coming better and I hope we can continue like this during the last few races," Talmacsi said.
World Championship leader Toni Elias made a heroic charge through the pack from his third-row start, a legacy of a crash during qualifying.
The Spaniard, who had won the previous four races, ended the first lap in 14th and fought his way through to fourth, just eight tenths behind Talmacsi.
"We're really happy because even though we finished fourth it feels like a win," the Gresini Honda rider said.
"Obviously I would have preferred it to be an actual win here at Aragon but we lost a lot of time yesterday because of the crash and there was an incident in the first corner of the race, which I managed to avoid but it dropped me back to 16th. I made up positions with every lap and with two to go I caught up with Talmacsi and Simon but couldn't pass them. Anyway, as I said, fourth place is important for the championship because we didn't lose too many points to our rivals. "
Simone Corsi finished fifth, well clear of Forward Racing's Jules Cluzel and Technomag-CIP's Dominique Aegerter. Front-row starter Scott Redding was eighth.
The MotoGP circus once again leaves Europe after this race, heading east for three races on consecutive weekends in Japan (October 3), Malaysia (October 10) and Australia (October 17). The season finishes back on the Continent with the Portuguese GP (October 31) and the Valencia GP (on November 7).
