Oxfordshire rider Bradley Smith will be seeking to repeat his podium finish of last year at the Grand Prix of Japan tomorrow.
The 20-year-old, from Forest Hill, near Oxford, finished third in the 125cc race in 2010 at the Motegi circuit, and a repeat in the Moto2 event should keep his chances of a third-place finish in the championship alive.
