Motorcycling Australia has selected six riders to compete as wildcards in the 125cc and 250cc classes at the 2005 Polini Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island, including 15-year-old sensation Blake Leigh-Smith. Leigh-Smith, an Australian junior long track champion in 2004, recently made his national 125cc debut at Winton Motor Raceway (Vic), and promptly won two of the three races in testing conditions. Subject to final ratification from the FIM and the MotoGP Commission (which applies to all the wildcards), Leigh-Smith will now hit the international arena on October 14-16 less than two months after his Winton heroics! The six wildcards are as follows: 125cc Blake Leigh-Smith, 15, Runaway Bay, Qld, Honda RS125 Brent Rigoli, 16, Mittagong, NSW, Honda RS125 Brett Simmonds, 22, Blackmans Bay, Tas, Honda RS125 250cc Mark Rowling, 33, Turramurra, NSW, Yamaha TZ250 Mick Kelly, 27, Irymple, Vic, Honda RS250 Ben Ried, 28, North Melbourne, Vic, Yamaha TZ250 Simmonds, Rigoli, Rowling and Ried were all wildcards in 2004.
