relentless core

Bradley Smith fought his way into sixth place in the 125 cc race won by 18 year old German Stefan Bradl after leading the early stages. Rain in practice and qualifying meant little set-up time in the dry for the 125 cc riders and it was the Polaris World team of Smith that suffered.

Bradley Smith said “I made a great start and led but I could not believe how fast the others were when they went past,” revealed the 17 year old. We had found a better set up and pace during the dry morning warm-up but I just could not stay with the others when they went past. I kept going as fast as I dared and sixth place keeps me in seventh place in the Championship.”
