Bradley Smith

[KFC]

Congratulations to Bradley Smith getting 2nd in the 125 Championship. Great prospect for the future:)

[Pedro]

Heartily agree

 

My only concern is that he's going to get too big, he's shooting up at a rate of knots

Indeed, he really deserved that, I reckon he would have won but for the facts (a) Simon was basically stunningly good and ( b ) Bradley had a few too many crashes.

 

I am pleased for Hiroshi Aoyama too.

i cant believe hes staying in 125s next year as hes going to look massive on one of them tiny bikes unlike MARQUEZ.

trouble is where would he go otherwise? also the change in bikes?

[shaun4860]

I think he looking at it in the way of serving an apprenticeship,

 

Good luck to him either way

I think he did very well and is a great talent but, staying in 125's could be a mistake. He should have moved up to gp2 on the new 600's. It will be a level playing field with the new bikes and the really talented guys like Smith will stand out. Saying that he may win the 125 title next year(if he stops growing). Also, how good was Ben Spies in moto gp. That blokes gonna go well next year.

Yeah, he showed up Toseland who has been really disapointing in motogp.

Not only Toseland, he came home in front of some very good riders including Dovizioso on the HRC Works Honda. I think Spies will be a force next season.

I think he will be in the top 5 next year and pushing for the title in 2011. Thought it was great this year when he managed to defeat the evil empire in WSB( Ducati)

 

I imagine they will ask for a 2 minute head start next year in WSB, so they can be sure the title goes back to Bologna.

no doubt Ducati will force a rule change allowing them to run even bigger twins again, or more of a weight penalty for the fours. Apparently Toseland is bigging up his chances for the title. I think Crutchlow will kick his ****

Yes , I think your right. I can't see Toseland beating Crutchlow, I don't think he's as hungry for it as Cal is. I really enjoyed watching Crutchlow in WSS this year , he's a class act.

from what they said before the start, the bike Spies was racing was brand new with all the bells and whistles on, new engine and suchlike,

 

he still did well though....
