Bradley Smith back and cleared for Valencia Moto2

Rider Bradley Smith will indeed be at the Valencia Grand Prix. Let’s recall that the Briton was one of the riders who crashed in the Moto2 practice sessions at Sepang, when the stewards did not show the wet/rain flag.

That crash ruled him out of the Malaysian round, but he now arrives ready and prepared to give his all in Valencia, so the Tech3 rider will attack from the start to close out a good debut year in the intermediate class.

The truth is that the Sepang crash was very hard on the 20-year-old rider. He fractured his left collarbone and one of his lungs was affected. Luckily it was not more serious, since at first there were fears of a puncture, but he had to rest during the penultimate round of the championship, and now he is set to return for the final race at Cheste, where he won the 125cc race last season.

Smith’s statements:

I have the all-clear to ride, but when I get on the bike in Valencia I’m sure I’ll feel pain and discomfort.

I won the 125cc race last year, and I’m delighted to be racing because I’m really motivated to get out and ride after the crash in Malaysia.
