Hiroshi Aoyama is in front in the 250cc class whilst arriving in Great Britain, ten points in the lead of Spanish rival
Álvaro Bautista. The class will see a fresh Donington Park winner on Sunday afternoon, as no-one currently on the grid
has taken victory here in quarter-litre competition. As the title is in the balance, such a win would be a massive boost to
either contendor.
Aoyama and Bautista have some room to breathe sitting at the top of the standings, following
them there are some dark horses threatening. Héctor Barberá is only eighteen points away from Bautista.
Confirmed position in the upper class lineup next year is Marco Simoncelli, he is re-mounting his title defence in the 250cc
class. The Metis Gilera competitor was victorious in the last round at Sachsenring in Germany, he needs thirty-two points
to catch the leader Aoyama.
There will be a selection of wild cards in home representation in Great Britain, lead
by half-regular participant Toby Markham. The local rider has only two points from five forms in 2009.
The British
Grand Prix begins on Sunday 26th July, practice sessions will commence the preceding Friday.
