After 50 125GP starts Oxfordshire’s Bradley Smith takes his maiden 125GP Victory after leading from the start. A blistering star saw Bradley get an early lead over his team mate Julian Simon, who started to catch him but crashed after losing the front end. From then on it was relative plain sailing for Bradley winning by a margin of 13.5 seconds.

Further back Scott Reading had a good battle and did look as though he could have made it onto the podium and possibly even second but it wasn’t to be and forth was a good result. The battle for second stretched all the way down to eight with any of the riders able to clinch the final two podium positions. Danny Webb put in a credible performance to finish eight, unfortunately Mathew Hoyle didn’t make to cut to qualify.

A very close exciting battle in the 125 Spanish GP only wets the appetite for the 250’s and Moto GP, and the rest of the season can we have another British victory at the final Donnington?

 The final Pre season test for the MotoGP riders is underway, the 125s have been in action with the four brits learning their bikes. Bradley Smith and Scott Reading in the top 10 only 1.5 seconds off the front. The test continues tomorrow and Friday with the 250s joining the action to. The MotoGP boys will be back in action on Saturday tesing at Jerez with the BMW M Award (OfficialPractice) showdown session on Sunday afternoon.

The final night of testing at the Losail Circuit in Qatar has concluded with Cassey Stoner lapping one second quicker that Jorge Lorenzo who seems to have got to grips with his Bridgestone tires. Valentino Rossi continued his good form to end the night third fastest only marginally slower than Jorge on the same bike. The newly sponsored Monster Yamaha Tech 3 of James Tosland is starting to get closer to the running pace and we hope that James can continue to improve his times through the two day test in Jerez and in free practice for the first race of the season at Losail in Qatar in less than six weeks.

So with one test left we hope that all the bikes and riders are in top shape for the opening round and that we get a season of nonstop close racing action.
