Hardly sour grapes Brian, just realism. If you are unaware of the facts Brads Dads money has meant he has always been in the best teams, yet has never won a championship. Five years in the top class with three of the best teams in that time in Puig's Repsol Team, the Polaris World team and finally Aspar. He is quick, theres no doubt about that and as the Eurosport guys often say he can 'time trial', ie get away when he is out front, but when theres a head to head battle he fares less well. In the knife fight that is Moto2 I fear he may struggle, especially given the Tech 3 Mistral chassis has been very inconsistent this year. Of the Brits out and out brawlers like Redding are always going to fare better in Moto2. I would say for Moto2 Redding is the better prospect, as would have been Eugene Laverty if he had gone there given Sofoglus pace. In 125 we have two or three very exciting prospects in Danny Webb, Danny Kent and Taylor McCenzie. Of them I would say Kent shows that extra sparkle that could take him all the way. So in effect Brad may find himself being sidelined as the British comingman despite all the money there is behind him. Brits may rule but its unlikely to be Brad long term, he may do better in World Supersport with his style.
