Britain’s Bradley Smith has secured his second pole position in succession after setting a blistering time in qualifying at Jerez. He was the only rider to dip under the 1’48s barrier with a 1’47.587 - half a second quicker than second-placed man Nicolas Terol and eight tenths faster than his time yesterday.
Qatar superstar Scott Redding banged in last-ditch lap in the dying minutes to secure the final place on the second row with Danny Webb one place behind.
