Compare Pole Position Times Between MotoGP Moto2 and Moto3 in 2013

I just thought it would be interesting to see the difference in pole position times between the three different classes of MotoGP bikes in 2013

MotoGP  Pole Time  =  1:32.915

Moto2     Pole Time  =  1:37.666         4.751 seconds longer than MotoGP

Moto3     Pole Time  =  1:42.707         9.792 seconds longer than MotGP


Interestingly the top Moto2 time of 1:37.666 would have qualified in 23rd place in the MotoGP race.
This made me wonder if the rules for each class make for a consistent overlap in speed so the fastest time in one class is equal to the slowest times in the next class up?
I wonder if anyone has any comments or research into this. as I would like to know whether this timing is by accident or design.
