Bradley Smith optimistic ahead of MotoGP race in Aragon

British MotoGP rider Bradley Smith says that he "can't wait" to get back on the track in Aragon following his second-place finish in Misano.

Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider Bradley Smith is confident that he can build on his performance from Misano when he takes to the track this weekend in Aragon.

The Brit claimed second place in Misano last weekend and currently sits fifth in the MotoGP riders' standings with five races left to go in the season.

"Firstly, it goes without saying that I can't wait to get back on the Yamaha after the great result that we had last weekend," motogp.com quotes Smith as saying. "It was a complicated race there but I clenched my teeth, took the gamble and it paid off.

"To score second really is a highlight of this season and it is a testament to the hard work that the team and I have put in. Therefore, this weekend we will try again and of course the podium finish really motivates me for further success."

Valentino Rossi currently leads the championship, with his Yamaha teammate Jorge Lorenzo second.
