Mattia Pasini took his third pole position of the season, and ninth of the 2007 125cc season, by just 0.026secs at Phillip Island on Saturday.

The Italian just edged out countryman Raffaele de Rosa with Czech Lukas Pesek a mere 0.002secs further back in third, while KTM's Tommy Koyama completed the front row.

Title contenders and first qualifying leaders Gabor Talmacsi and Hector Faubel had a less impressive day - championship leader Talmacsi failed to improve and dropped to ninth as a result, while Faubel salvaged sixth.
