Somewhat overshadowed by MM but Brad Smith had the best rookie year of any Brit ever - better than Cal for instance. Let's hope he can build on this next year
if anyone is considering going to Valencia next year I recommend staying on for the test days....the entry is free and its just moto gp for the 3 days.
How long is it going to be before MM gets his shoulder down in the corners - without falling off? His body position is now basically on the floor with the bike towing him around. Gives a whole new meaning to drag racing.
funnily enough Glidd i was thinking that very thing whilst watching the race....its only a matter of time before riders will have their upper arms grazing the kerbs... i mentioned in a previous post somewhere, that it's funny when you go back and watch some older WSBK or 500cc footage and the lack of lean angle compared to today's racing..advances in tyre tecnology and riding technique i guess.
