The season started very positively for Talmácsi.
After a very successful testing period, he started with a second place in the opening race of Qatar, then he won the Spanish GP of Jerez overtaking Lukáš Pešek of Derbi before the finish line.
On the third race held at Istanbul Park Circuit he ended fifth after a small incident with Raffaele de Rosa, but could increase his lead in the World Championship, due to his opponents finishing behind him (Héctor Faubel suffered a clash from de Rosa at one of the Italian's aggressive manoeuvres).

On his 100th GP in Shanghai, China, he had some smaller technical problems with his bike due to which he could not achieve the podium, arriving fourth.
This cost him losing his championship lead to Lukáš Pešek who grabbed his maiden win on the race.
In the next two races he could not get to the podium and arrived again in fourth place.
In the Catalan GP of Barcelona his two main rivals by that time, Faubel and Pešek crashed into each other whereas Talmácsi arrived second, thus returning to the rostrum after Jerez and again leading the world championship by 13 points.
However, in the next grand prix at Donington Park, UK, he could not finish the race due to a motor problem.
In Assen he arrived third behind Héctor Faubel.

The German GP at the Sachsenring was the race most dominantly won by Talmácsi in 2007 with a pole position, fastest lap of the race and a formidable advantage throughout the whole grand prix.
In his "home grand prix" in Brno, Czech Republic (there were about 30,000 Hungarian supporters there) his performance appeared to be quite dominant with a pole position, however in the race he could not ride as fast as expected and in the tough battle at the end of the race he achieved fourth place whereas Faubel won.

The San Marinese GP at Misano was a dramatic one and caused some controversy.
In the penultimate lap of the race the Italian Simone Corsi, Héctor Faubel and Gábor Talmácsi (who had some illness throughout the weekend and wasn't in a perfect physical state) were battling for second place (the race was led by Mattia Pasini).
Corsi and Faubel crashed while Talmácsi could keep going and finished in second place, again leading the championship before Faubel, who did not score after arriving in 17th place.

The Portuguese GP was another slipstream victory for Héctor Faubel, overtaking Talmácsi after the last corner.
In Motegi, Japan the race in wet conditions was won by Pasini with Talmácsi arriving second and Faubel third.
The Spaniard was satisfied with his performance which was probably his best ever in a rainy race.

The lowest finishing position of the whole season (not calculating the United Kingdom where his engine problem impeded him from finishing), 8th place, met Talmácsi in Australia, where he had problems with finding the right setup for the new suspension of his motorcycle.
Before that, he showed great stability: his lowest position was 5th in the third race of the season, Turkey, and even if he won less races than Faubel and Pasini, he was leading the championship.
After the race he kept only a single point of his lead against Héctor Faubel, who finished third after Lukáš Pešek and Joan Olivé.

At Sepang, Malaysia, penultimate race of the season, Faubel had pole position with Talmácsi starting second.
However, in the race the Hungarian was leading from the end of the first lap until the end of the race with a significant advantage over the other riders.
Faubel arrived third after the Japanese KTM rider, Tomoyoshi Koyama (winner at Montmeló).
Talmácsi's Valencian teammate was complaining about the bike and had to finish the race knowing that the Hungarian will have a 10-point advantage at the last race of the season in Cheste, Valencia.

In Valencia the race started with Talmácsi in pole and in an absolutely tense race where Faubel tried everything, the Hungarian arrived second behind his rival and thus became the 2007 world champion, the first motorcycle world champion of Hungary, and the centre-east region of Europe.
