More on Bradley Smith
Description from Wikipedia:
Bradley Smith (born Oxfordshire), is an English motorcycle racer, currently competing in the 125cc Grand Prix World Championship.
Smith's father raced in Motocross, and the family owned an open practice track. Smith got his first motocross bike aged six .
Smith applied for selection to the Auto-Cycle Union (ACU) academy for young racers, but was never chosen. He spent a year in 2004 aged 13 competing in the Aprilia Superteams competition, finishing fourth behind three ACU Academy riders. In January 2005 he was asked to compete for the year in the Spanish 125cc championship as part of the MOTO GP Academy, winning the last three races ending the year 2nd just one point behind the champion.
For 2006, he joined the Repsol Honda 125cc Grand Prix World Championship squad, managed by Alberto Puig finishing 19th overall and rookie of the year, with a best result of 8th place in Motegi. Remaining with the team in 2007, he took a first podium with third place at Le Mans. Nine more top-10 finishes left him 10th overall.
Smith signed with the Polaris World Aprilia team for the 2008 season. He secured his first pole position at the opening round of the season at the Losail International Circuit in Qatar on March 8, but suffered a technical problem while leading. A number of midseason injuries affected him , but he scored podium finishes at Jerez and Le Mans (after briefly leading the five-lap sprint required by a red flag for rain). He lead at both Assen and Sachsenring, but finished off the podium in both.
For the 2009 season, Smith has been signed by the Bancaja Aspar team to continue to ride an Aprilla, alongside Julian Simon. The deal also includes an option to race in 250s for the team in 2010. Smith had almost signed for the team in 2008, before signing for Polarisworld.
