Results of qualifying practice for the 125cc class at Le Mans:
Nico Terol's merciless grip on the 125cc class continues, the Bankia Aspar rider once again grabbing a huge advantage during qualifying for Sunday's race at Le Mans. Terol's nearest challenger during qualifying was his teammate Hector Faubel, though Sandro Cortese looked capable of getting close to Terol, before the German crashed in the final minutes of QP. Cortese was left to start from 4th on the grid, just behind the Spanish CEV 125cc champion Maverick Viñales. Jonas Folger will start from 5th, just ahead of local hero Johann Zarco, the Frenchman showing a big improvement this season.
