Bradley Smith on pole.

James Toseland 2nd, the Yamaha/Michelin combination must be pretty good.

First proper chance of a GP win since heaven only knows. Enjoy.

I will be watching,Come on the Brits

I will say this before the race, this is Toseland's best chance of a win in MotoGP for what could prove to be a long time. I have always felt he is more of a Damon Hill than a Michael Scuhmacher. The others will catch up in a few races, best get your skates on James.

I would love it if he proved me wrong though.

Bradley Smith WILL be a star, just a question of time.

Good race - and Toseland did very well considering his lack of top-end power compared to the others.

JT will prove you wrong..... And it's great to see decent Brit interest in the 125 class again, it's just a shame it didn't quite go to plan for some (though I shan't spoil it!)....

I agree, good race. I hope JT will prove me wrong. He did well though, probably as good as he could hoped for for that bike, a lot of top riders behind him including a very experienced team mate. Bring on Spain.
