Bradley Smith Signs with Aspar Aprilia for 2010

Smith is on pace to become a British World Champion - the first since Barry Sheene in 1977. He finished second in the 125c.c. World Championship to teammate Julian Simon in 2009. It is not much of a stretch to see him taking the crown in 2010. He will join Nico Terol on the Aprilia next season as Simon is moving up to Moto2 next season. Good luck Smith!

Spanish 125 GP Contingent Heading to Phillip Island

The Spaniards have been taking the 125c.c. World Championship by storm. If you don't believe me, you are not watching the same races I have been, nor are you paying attention! Julian Simon, Nico Terol, Pol Espargaro and Sergio Gadea are all in the top six in the 125 class, and there is still no sure winner of the series. Phillip Island should be interesting viewing...
