BRADLEY Smith is bidding to continue his strong end of season form at this weekend’s Malaysian MotoGP.

The Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider equalled his best finish of 2017, when finishing tenth in Australia last weekend.

Smith headed to Sepang in good spirits, but was met by changing conditions in practice yesterday.

The 26-year-old, from Forest Hill, posted the 17th fastest time in both sessions, but second practice was affected by the wet weather.

He will now hope to move inside the top-12 in this morning’s session to ensure direct entry into the second round of qualifying.
