Scott Redding was absolutely brilliant in 125, 5th at 15 years old is just insane. Bradley Smith didnt do so great but should be one of the top 5 at the end of the season. Have yet to watch the MotoGP race but know the result, Toseland got a brilliant result despite qualifying 2nd, wasnt expectin him to be this good in the his rookie year, should be a good season, hopefully Stoner will lose as him winning would be boring.

Toseland would have been well in there if he had the pneumatic valve engine like Lorenzo and Rossi. Because he had a spring engine he had to turn the mapping down as it isn't as good on fuel or top end. He will have the new engine soon though....:thumbsup:

The mind boggles as to how, at the top level of bike racing, Bradley's steering damper could fall off after 2 laps?? (to quote him)

That just proves, even the very best make mistakes.
Great racing though :thumbsup:

Dont see how it was his mistake though, from what I saw the damper seemed to come off down the straight as you could see his front wheel started violently wobbling.
Toseland is supposed to get the pneumatic engine in a couple of months and then Yamaha will develop the bike alongside Tech3 which should be good.

Put a search in on you tube for Joe Burns. I have known Joes dad for years and he used to be a racer. His brother did a few 125cc GPs for a Jap team when Sakata was injured(UGT 3000).Had real bad luck. Joe is only 15 at the most and the clip i was watching was at Donnington Park where he went under tha lap record. Hopefully will make it soon as he isnt 16 and allowed to race until April which is the 2nd round of the Supersport championship(I think)
