MOTOGP » 125: Smith considers Polaris, Aspar options

funny, i read the other day that polaris were letting him go as didn''t have funds and that he had signed for aspar already...

What he was saying there about Polaris maybe changing bikes was abit strange, There's only really Aprilia and KTM in the 125s, If there jumping to KTM Bradders should run to Aspar as quick as possible.

Aspar Team is a wonderfull choice because Jorge knows how to turn a great rider into a Champion, and Bradley needs someone like him.

I am satified with Polaris but if Bradley changes it will be very good news anyway.

We will keep our support wherever he goes.

GO BRAD!!!

He should be looking for 250 now, nothing to do with results just by next year he will probably be too big to be competitive

how can someone disagree with my post above? i read the article on eurosport.com i think, strange how someone seems to think i made it up or summat!!!!

Bradley stay with Polaris World if you can cos you look settled and happy there.It not like there have no money and they should have softed this out mouths ago.Head of Polaris world racing team said at san marino that there are continuing in 2009 so why say that when he does not no wot going to happen.I find it very strange they are thinking of changing machinery bad move if they do I think cos the Aprilis are the best out there in 125/250.But if you do go to Aspar that is still good but dont take no s..t cos Aspar does favour the spanish rider just look wot Talmacsi did last year wining the title.But I think deep down everyone knows Aspar really wanted Faubel to win the title

woody, I think you read an article that was a bit too influenced by the desires of Jorge Martinez, who seems to have been suggesting that it's practically a done deal although no article I've read actually said it was definite.

no, i have seen the new article just now which contradicts the first article, the other was on wednesday 17th saying bradley will sign for aspar aprillia later this week after polaris released him from his contract as they have no funding to run him

@ woody: You're right, MCN reported that Bradley had been given clearance to leave Polaris and that it would be officially announced Friday [yesterday] that he'd be signing with Aspar. That's yet to be seen, but reading what his Dad had to say, you can see where the 'rumours' have come from. Regardless of what team Brad signs with next season, one thing is for sure, it's bloody good to see a British rider with options as good as he has!

There are issues for Polaris World because of the credit crunch. There are thousands of holiday properties in Spain being mothballed so it doesn't look like the sponsors will stick with the team. There are definitely issues with their budget and it remains to be seen whether they'll get that sorted. Whatever happens it would seem that Bradders has options for next year which is ultimately the most important thing
