What a great ride he had today

Don't normally watch the 125's but think i will start to from now on

Could be a big hope for the future

Didn't think the Moto GP could class get any better but it has
this year - the 800s seem to have really evened things out

Rossi's still the man though

young bradley's doing really well this year, nothing spectacular as yet but you can literally see the progress with every race.
dont know if he'll win a race this year as the h***a loses out quite a bit on top end to the other bike that run at the front.
I've not seen the 125 race yet but i'll catrch it later tonight.
800's wre pretty entertaining today. the capacity drop has really opened things up, theres a few riders out there who with a bit of luck could easilly take a win this year. stoner and hopkins are both doing very well.

see he qualified 5th for china GP

long time since there's been a Brit that near the front in any GP class

good luck to him - the right age and a decent bike !

bradley seems to have a bit of trouble with his starts, he's not the quickest off the line so unless he gets a flyer he could find himself being swamped.
hope it isnt the case, he's getting better every race. definately a talent for the future.

he's had a very good weekend so far now he needs a podium to finish it off.

he got it

some might say by default - but thats racing

he could go far - he's gone the right route avoiding the normal
supersport/superbike route

16 years old brit on a podium - when did that last happen?

That was funny to see such a young looking lad (looks about 12) being given a bottle of champers and getting the opporunity this spray the stuff over the dolly girls

If that aint motivation for him to getback on the podium , dunno what would be

Spoke very well in the interviews after , got his head screwed on OK .
