Spanish chance for Brits

British 125cc racers James Westmoreland and Dan Linfoot will ride for the Ajo Motorsport team in the final two rounds of the 125cc Spanish championship.

The two spots are a reward for their performances in 2005, which saw Westmorland clinch the ACu Academy Cup from runner-up Linfoot. Both riders also competed as wild cards at the British Grand Prix at Donington in July 2005, which saw Linfoot take an impressive ninth place in the two-part race.

Organisers Dorna had already selected fellow ACU Academy star Kev Coghlan for a place in the Spanish championship, and the trio of 17-year-olds will be joined at the next royund at Valencia, on November 18-20 by 14-year-olds Danny Webb and Bradley Smith, who is the first ever British winner of a Spanish championship race.

They will also race at the final round of the season at Jerez on November 25-27, 2005.
