Stefan Bradl has taken provisional pole for Sunday's 125cc Chinese Grand Prix by just 0.057secs over Britain's Bradley Smith.

The young German snatched the top spot from Smith - who had bounced back from a mid-session fall - in the final seconds, with Nicolas Terol and championship leader Simone Corsi completing a front row covered by 0.186secs.

An all-Aprilia top six was completed by reigning world champion Gabor Talmacsi and his Aspar team-mate Sergio Gadea.
