Bradley Smith

I remember seeing an interview with Bradley on the TV last year, I didn't think he'd be thrown in with the sharks this soon. He looked so cute in all his leathers for his first test day with the big boys. Bless his little cotton socks.

I'd be so proud of him if he was my little lad... but then again being an over protective mother, my little lad ain't going to get the chance to be a racer!!

Are the riders getting younger and younger or am I ageing very quickly and realising everyone around me are sprogs.

No, 15 & 16 is a normal age to start World 125cc nowadays, Rossi did it, Capirossi did it, Pedrosa did it.

When I was at Donington last year, I remember looking at the riders line up in the programme that I bought. The majority of the riders were 16/17.

Bradley has been riding for a while now and made quite a name for himself even at the tender age that he is. I can't wait to see how he performs over the coming years.

he looked like a deer in the headlights when they showed him in his garage & when he was interviewed. gotta learn ta swim with the sharks sometime tho!

Yeah, he does look like a bit of a baby, but so does Vermulen, and he took more than his fair share of SBK wins last year.

I'm a big fan of Chris. I'd love to see him team up with Honda and Melandri. I think that would be my dream team.
