Smith column: Totally gutted.

Smith column: Totally gutted.

Totally gutted is the only was to describe my feelings when I hit the floor in China. The pain just increased one hundred per cent when I realised I could not get back on the bike and in the race. The footrest hanger broke in the impact and that was that, no World Championship points once again.

Shame Bradders. The champioship is probably over now but wins are still there for the taking. The guys got the speed he just needs to cool down a bit. Three poles from four races don't happen by accident. Unfortunately the accidents happen in the races.

Le Mans should be a good one for him.

Gooooo Bradders.

Maybe he should break his victory duck first to get the calm he needs to become a champion.

The good news for Bradders is that knowone has really put their stamp on this years championship so far, If he can string a few podiums together and bag a win or two between Le mans and the summer break he should be in pretty good shape.

PS. Bradders, if you read this, Get me the number of that black haired lady who's always in the Polaris world pit garage!

Bradley needs to break his duck and settle down. It would appear that he has the machinery and the ability. However does he realise that seasons are made up of points. In the words of the great Muddly Talker "to finnish 1st,1st you must finnish". I understand that Brad is still learning his trade and feel that I expect too much but it is only my excitement at having 3 amazing british talents in the class. Keep up the great work and your focus. Good luck mate. John.

Hehe! Such a good report, nice to see you haven't lost your sense of humour
Bradders! =8D

Keep up the good work and the experience you'll gain will put you in good stead
for your career. I have no doubt that one day you will go on to do VERY well
at this malarky!

Best of luck!

Well done Bradders,

It will come, many of our past races have had to go past the limit to find theirs! just look at this as a learning point. It may not be this yeart but you can stamp your authority on taking it next year make sure they know whose behind them. Pressure is your best tool.

Best of luck Mate.

Same speed, different revs ? How is that even possible ?
I only see one answer : not the same lean angle : same speed with more angle makes more revs because the tire circumference is smaller. And if the lean angle was different with the same speed, it seems to me that it means the line was different, tighter.

Now, I am no race rider, so am I wrong somewhere ?

Anyway, all the best for the remainder of the season Bradley, you do deserve a podium soon, and with your size now, you belong to the bigger categories, where I hope you'll get a ride as soon as next year in 250.

As the old saying goes it's easier to stop a fast guy crashing than make a slow guy fast.
