The Kent teenager will complete his first grand prix season with the team in Valencia tomorrow (Sunday) riding the De Graaf Grand Prix Honda. It's been a tough debut season but Webb was rewarded by scoring his first ever world championship points in Japan this year.

"The team has been fantastic and I'm sure next year we can start scoring points regularly. I'm so pleased to continue grand prix racing," said a delighted Webb, who qualified 28th for the season finale.

The choice of machinery has still to be decided.

There will thus be three British riders in next year's 125cc World Championship, with Webb joining Bradley Smith, riding for the Polaris World Aprilia team, and 15-year-old rookie Scott Redding, who has signed for Blusens Aprilia.
