Bradley Smith

Yeah, have been for the last 11 years or so... we always stand on the bank overlooking the bridge with the car on it, lol, completely forgot what its called. You can see the hill and even as far as Dunlop bridge from there.

He reminds me of Pedrosa with his size... but there's no way he's quite that talented. Plus, judging by his voice, I don't think his balls have dropped yet, lmao. So he should get bigger, and possibly be able to handle a Moto GP bike... but there's no way of knowing at this stage.

And I agree, he is ginger and scary.

What's ginger got to do with it ,may i ask

Bradley will do us proud,whether he wins a title or not.Of course there will be the usual crowd ready to whinge about him if he has a bad patch.

The sign of a top rider is how quickly he can come back after a crash where he gets hurt.
Bradley was going great guns until he had that crash , its taking him too long to get back in my opinion.
I hope he does though , he's a good little rider.

ehem... Honda have said that he has greater potential where he is now than Dani Pedrosa had when he was Bradley's age. i have that on solid authority (none other than julian rider pre czech gp at a poleposition (travel agency) bash and valentino has singled him out as a talent for the future too. unfortunately in 125 you are only as good as your bike and he pushes that honda so hard all the time.

personally, i think he's going to be a Pedrosa clone, he's being 'raised' by alberto, has the mental attitude that Dani has (ie. utterly focussed and determined to win) and has the talent to back it up. give him a few years - and a works aprilia- and he will be competitive, im sure of it.

I'm confident he is already taller than Dani.


well, come on, thats not hard is it. Bradley is taller because Dani is the smallest rider in the paddock, bless his cotton socks

Yeah, and Honda aren't exactly paying much attention to the lower classes anyway.
