Damian Cudlin is the latest Aussie to secure a ride for the 2011 IVECO Australian Grand Prix at Phillip Island, expanding the local contingent to a whopping 10 riders.

Stoner currently holds a 40-point lead over closest rival Jorge Lorenzo, with three rounds remaining.

Caretta KTM Technology rider Jack Miller will lead a troupe of five locals eager to make an impression in the Moto125 class.

The 2011 German 125GP Champion will be joined by wild card quartet Josh Hook, Nicky Diles, Tom Hatton and Alex Phillis for the three days of racing.
