By far the most successful team in the 125cc class in Britain in the last two years has been Team KRP (Keen Race Preparation), founded at the end of the 2004 season by Buckingham-shire race engineer Mark Keen. Mark has guided several young riders to success in the British Championship and launched two teenage stars on their way to full-time rides at world championship level.
Teenagers Dan Cooper and James Westmoreland finished champion and runner-up respectively in the British Championship in KRP colours in 2006, and Anthony Rogers won the ACU Cup. Ben Tye was also a regular front-runner and Irish schoolgirl Nicole McAleer scored points and gained vital experience.
Westmoreland was also runner-up in 2005, missing out on the title due to a piston failure in the last round despite dominating the series for much of the season, and 14 year old Keen discovery Bradley Smith won BSB rounds before being released to ride in the MotoGP academy under the wing of Dani Pedrosa's manager, Alberto Puig. In 2006 Smith becamse a regular points scorer in 125cc Grands Prix.
