Bradley Smith is confident of another good result when he lines up in the Argentina MotoGP at the Termas de Rio Hondo track tomorrow.

The 24-year-old, from Forest Hill, near Oxford, finished sixth in the GP of Americas on his Monster Yamaha Tech3 machine last weekend behind reigning world champion Marc Marquez.

And he said: “We are improving the setting every time we run the Yamaha, but the main thing we need to focus on is looking after the front tyre.

“My ambition remains the same, which is to be close to the factory riders and after all of the positives we have had so far, I am going to Argentina confident and optimistic about getting another strong result.”
