MOTOGP » Smith column: Polaris farewell

Bradley, get well soon.

Good luck for the next season. I know that thanks to you we''ll enjoy the races.


38 until the end

Its a shame to see a high end sponsor have to pull out of racing due to the " credit cruch ... bla bla " but its even worse to see it happen to a fellow Brit.

I was VERY happy to see that Aspar is still the man for sniffing talent in the lower class and signing Bradder's is a top move.

Bradley has a great 08 and with full fitness [ abeit a runny nose! ] he will be fitting fit for 2009..... on a top spec A kit again and with a great team behind him.

Good Luck from myself and the team here Bradley, we know you will have a great 09 season with Jórge & roll on for upstep to the Aspar 250 set up in 2010 taking over from Alvaro.

( I at least hope this is the case ! )

Hope you get over the man flu soon Brad! Good luck for next season and please keep up the column on crash because sadly I don''t think we''ll be hearing or seeing that much of you next year with the beeb coverage.

Hey Bradders,

Many Thanks for a great season with some great Highs & the odd Low.
Enjoy the winter break & the british weather.
Good luck with the new team & testing.
I for one can't wait for the new season to start.

Dave if you have the red button (Freeview)you can watch all the 125 & 250cc races.

Lets hope Aspar can bring out the extra 2% he needs to challenge for the championship Bradley has shown he has the pace...Well done this year and Good luck for next...

I hope next season isn't as wet as this one. Can't believe how wet it's been all the way round the world! If it wasn't for all the rain then Bradley would have won one or two for sure - almost definitely in France. Still, it's going to keep him hungry for success, which is the silver lining for me. It'll be great to see him on the Aspar next year, and I hope to be back at Donington in my bright orange 38 t-shirt again!

Bradders is World Champ ellect but Scot may have somthing to say about it ! They are both huge tallents.

Good luck next year Bradley!

To anyone worried I have had to switch from Eurosport to the BBC this season for MotoGP and was really worried it would be rubbish...it isn't. You still see qualifying for Euro rounds on Saturday (only MotoGP though) and you still get 125 and 250 races. If you have digital TV (Sky, Virgin, BT, Freeview ETC) they are shown on BBC digital, press red button or just find the channel (301 and 302 Freeview)also they often reply the races on these digital channels a few times. So if you was worried don't be its not so bad and Steve Parrish/Charlie Cox are still pretty good.

I've heard that Eurosport have done a deal whereby they will show all races but with delayed coverage. Does anyone know if this is this true?

Thanks for the entertaining season Bradley and I'm sure '09 will see you on that top step more than once !!
