Bradley Smith eager for more success

Bradley Smith eager for more success World 125GP championship leader Bradley Smith is looking for more success in Spain this weekend at the Catalunya GP.

Smith broke his long-running victory duck in Jerez last month and his second world championship victory in Mugello moved him to the top of the points-standings after five races. And the 18-year-old is confident he can build on his early season success, which has seen become Britain’s most successful GP rider the legendary Barry Sheene.

The Aspar Aprilia rider said: “Being leader of the championship is an incredible feeling. I think we’ve had five fantastic races and things are going really well for us. The Aprilia is working perfectly and that makes my feeling with the bike better every time I ride it.

“Next weekend in Barcelona we’ll have another opportunity to do well and I’m looking forward to getting to Montmeló and continuing to work hard. I suppose if we do that then there’s no reason to think that we can’t stay on top of the championship.

“Montmeló is the first circuit I rode at outside of England and it holds special memories for me. I’ve done a lot of laps there and I know it well, although unfortunately I had a nasty crash there last year, so hopefully this time can be different.”
