Poor Bradleyafter todays crash in Assen, Have a speedy recovery Bradley, Hope you are not out for too long.

Found this on the eurosport page......................................

The 16-year-old was moving slowly near the racing line when he was hit by the Aprilia of Italian Andrea Iannone, traveling flat out. Smith broke a bone in his left hand and foot during the collision, while Iannone badly damaged a finger.
"I was on an out-lap and riding on the kerb when I looked behind and saw Iannone tucked in behind the screen and flying through the corner behind me," recalled a bitterly disappointed Smith. "He only saw me at the very last moment when he finally looked up, which was lucky, but he still clipped my left side and down I went. They told me in the medical centre that I'd broken one bone in my hand and foot but I still wanted to ride. There is also a swelling just below my calf and at first I thought I'd broken my leg but thankfully that is ok. I will fly to Barcelona tomorrow to see the team doctor and go from there." It is still too early to say if Smith will be fit for the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring on July 15.

Bless him, hope he will be fit enough for the German Grand Prix.

Britain's Bradley Smith is waiting on doctors' advice before making a decision on when to return to grand prix racing.
The teenage Repsol Honda starlet has been ruled out of Saturday's A-Style 125cc Dutch TT after sustaining a broken left hand and left foot during the opening free practice session at Assen on Thursday morning.
The 16-year-old, from Oxford, was in collision with Andrea Iannone who is also expected to miss the race after injuries to his right hand.
Now Smith is planning to recuperate in Barcelona pending a prospective return to action at the series next round, in Germany, next month.
Smith said: "I was on an out lap and riding on the kerb when I looked behind and saw Iannone tucked in behind the screen and flying through the corner behind me.
"He only saw me at the very last moment, when he finally looked up, which was lucky.
"But he still clipped my left side and down I went.
"They told me in the medical centre I had broken one bone in my hand and foot but I still wanted to ride.
"There is also a swelling just below my calf and at first I thought I had broken my leg but thankfully that is okay.
"I will fly to Barcelona to see the team doctor and go from there."

I just found this one, i hope he will get well son.
He can be a great rider....

I hope poor Brad is back in action very soon!!

thanx for that Il dottore

You are welcome

They have found that Bradley has another fracture as well as the two already reported about. I don't know how bad this newly discovered fracture is or if it's his, foot, hand or somewhere else, I have no idea but anyway it's not looking too good for him, the poor lad. I hope he is back fighting fit again and roaring to race real soon.....On the positive side (if you can look at it that way) Brad is still only 16 and so heals a lot faster than someone in their 20's.

Good luck Brad and have a fast recovery.
