125cc: Smith storms to Jerez pole

Bradley Smith has taken a dominant pole position at Jerez, ahead of tomorrow's 125cc Spanish Grand Prix

The Briton, on his second pole in two races this year, managed to set a time of 1:47.587, almost half a second faster than second-quickest Nicolas Terol, who held provisional pole in yesterday's first qualifying session.

German Stefan Bradl went third fastest ahead of reigning champion Gabor Talmacsi, who completes the front row.

Simone Corsi qualified fifth with Steve Bonsey sixth. Behind the top six, all of them being Aprilia bikes, went Mike di Meglio with his Derbi.

He was followed by Scott Redding and Daniel Webb on Aprilias, with the KTM of Raffaele de Rosa rounding up the top ten.
