Young Brit Camier confirmed in 125s.
British 125cc Championship frontrunner Leon Camier will make the move into Grand Prix racing next season with the Honda Racing Service team.
17-year-old Camier won the 125 championship in 2001 and followed that up with a third in this year's standings, riding for Padgett's.
The Brit also made a wild card entry in the British Grand Prix at Donington Park, riding for Italjet Racing Service, where he performed admirably by qualifying 31st out of the 36 riders and finishing in 24th on race day after a controlled ride.

As a result, Camier will now make his deserved full time GP debut at the 2003 season opener at Suzuka.
However, he will not be riding an Italjet, as the Italian manufacturer was not listed as having a provisional entry for the 2003 series. Indeed 2002 rider Stefano Perugini is named on a Abruzzo Aprilia with ex-team-mate Christian Pistoni not entered at all.
It now appears that the team has switched to a Honda for Camier, while their other entry is still listed as 'to be announced'.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
