Sepang MotoGP: Bradley Smith on the podium in Malaysia

Bancaja Aspar rider Bradley Smith claimed 2nd place on the podium behind team mate Julain Simon in the Sepang 125 race.    

Bradley’s performance is enough to earn him second spot in the championship standings, made all the more impressive because he was riding with a broken foot.

Pol Esparagaro claimed third for the Derbi Racing Team and 4th went to fellow Spaniard and Bancaja Aspar rider Sergio Gadea. 

Degraaf Grand Prix rider Danny Webb crashed out of the race.
