Smith column: Pole but no points.

Smith column: Pole but no points.

I've just arrived back home from Qatar with a super new Tissot watch but I would willingly swap it for 25 World Championship points. Of course I'm still really bitterly disappointed about the problems we had when I was leading a grand prix for the very first time but there are still so many positives to take from the complete weekend in Qatar.

Bradley has still done a fantastic job and should be very proud. It sounds as if he has really matured and I'm sure this will only lead to better results in the future.
We're still behind you Bradley!!

Was really disappointed for him. But I have no doubt he will be in the championship fight towards the end of the season.

He was so unlucky, he'll be back at the front this year.

I wish him well and hope he's around for years to come, tough break mate.

It's great to see so many riders coming out of the British system.

Can't have been that much fun trying get that bike round for all those laps. Well done Bradders, keep up the good work and nice to see how happy he is for the other Brits on the grid despite his problems

Scoot, how do you know that Bradley's damper was loose? I thought it was broken.

And how do you know that a loose damper was the cause for Loca's crash last year? I never read that anywhere?

Thx

Hey man, that is some tough luck.

Just keep the morale up, you've done what was possible, and in your control. Besides, that was a nice attitude finishing the race. If it depended just on he rider, we would have seen many different winners in racing, instead of the ones we had. You know better, so I hope you can cope with stuff like that.

I'm rooting for you this year, and I hope you can clinch a good result, the one you deserve!

Fabio, from Portugal

Call it insider information, I work with Gilera and spoke to Loca at the British GP last year. Regarding Bradley again someone close to him told me. ;)

Your day will come Bradley! An excellent weekends performance all round given the problems with the bike during the race itself.

It's *so* nice to see genuine talent being given the chance to prove itself! The results
of all 3 riders in 125 and JT's in MotoGP (and Chaz in Daytona) is very heartning for the future of British racing!

A shame the damper broke, I hope the team have better luck this season than they did last season.

It is so good to have British riders on decent bikes, it can only get better.

I detect a difference in Bradley, the pictures in the press, the look in those eyes, the slightly harder look, the growing confidence, the belief & realization he's the fastest surely will bring a race win, then who knows what the future holds.
