Britain's Bradley Smith will start from the second on the grid in tomorrow's 125GP race in Le Mans despite setting the fastest time in this afternoon's second qualifying session.
The Oxforshire teenager was only one of a handful of riders to better their time from yesterday and crucially, Sergio Gadea, whose time yesterday remains the quickest of the weekend, was some one second slower than his pace yesterday.
Scott Redding and Danny Webb both improved on their times from yesterday. Redding will start from 12th on the grid while Webb is three places behind him.
