BRADLEY Smith says he will be out to impress future employers at tomorrow’s Czech MotoGP.

The 27-year-old, who has lost his ride in the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team for 2019, bids to make it back-to-back points finishes in Brno.

Smith said in June he would consider retirement from the sport.

But he is now looking to weigh up his options as a test rider or return to Moto2, saying he is “open to hearing anything and anybody”.

He is hoping such a move would lead to a return to the premier class in 2020.

Speaking to crash.net, Smith said: “I’ve had my meetings with Bob (Moore, manager) to strategise what we’re trying to achieve.

“At the moment all options are open options in terms of this paddock and I’ve told him that.

“I’m open to hearing anything and anybody and then I’ll decide what I’ll do from there.

“Most people did switch off their emails and phones during the summer break which is fair enough.

“But we need to get back on the case this weekend, making the rounds and speaking to people.

“The best way for me to do it is to be fast on track. I’ll do that and Bob does the speaking part and hopefully something will land.”

Smith, who set the 20th fastest time over yesterday's two practice sessions, recorded a season’s best result when finishing tenth in the German MotoGP at the Sachsenring three weeks ago.

And he admitted the implications of retirement had been playing on his mind since announcing it was in this thoughts.

He said: “The thing is I was very open to that fact.

“But it’s shown me over the last few months that I’m not ready to completely stop.

"It’s quite nice to get to that point. When you say it out in the open you become accountable because it’s a big word.

“Actually having done the last few months and a bit of decision making when push finally comes to shove I’m not ready to stop and I don’t want my career to end in this way.

“I’m a bit more into giving it another shot in 2019, looking towards 2020 to get myself back.

“I’m going to do anything and everything possible to make sure I’m back on the MotoGP grid in 2020.

“I’m not over this and I’m not the slowest guy on the grid.

“You’ve got to sit there and think, ‘I’ve got the speed or the know-how so at some point I’m going to slot back inside this paddock how I need to’.”
