 Bradley Smith equalled his best-ever finish in a 125cc race in Malaysia |
Oxfordshire teenager Bradley Smith battled back from the fourth row of the grid to take second place at the 125cc Grand Prix in Malaysia. The 17-year old started from 13th place after a rain-affected qualifying session in Sepang. "It was a great result, especially after the disasters in qualifying with the rain wrecking the second session," said Smith. "I made a good start but had to fight my way through the pack." The race was the rider's penultimate for his Polaris World team and despite his efforts he was unable get past the impressive 2007 world champion Gabor Talmacsi at the front.  | I will go flat out to win in Valencia to thank the team for their work and support this year |
"I tried hard to close on Gabor at the front but he was controlling things at the front," he added. "If I'd had a front-row start it would have been a different story but I'm very happy with the result. "I will go flat out to win in Valencia to thank the team for their work and support this year."
