Bradley Smith remains top Brit in Estoril test

Bradley Smith has remained top British rider after the second day of testing at the Estoril circuit in Portugal.

The Aspar Aprilia rider clocked a best time of 1.46.328 to lap 0.3s faster than he managed on the opening day.

But that time saw him slip down to fourth on the timesheets as Spanish team-mate Julian Simon once again dominated.

He set a best time of 1.45.046, which nobody could get within a second of as Pol Espargaro got closest with a best lap of 1.46.218.

British GP winner and 2008 rookie sensation Scott Redding knocked a massive 1.6s off his best time from the opening day with a fastest lap of 1.47.272.

That moved him up the rankings into ninth place and two places ahead of fellow Brit Danny Webb, who ended 11th after a crash at the fourth corner which he escaped injury in.
