Bradley Smith was seen in a spectacular tumble at the Estoril race last weekend and was said to be disappointed with how the race went.

The ginger-ninja seemed to have had an extreme make-over and said that his mechanic had convinced him that he was a hairdresser so he let him shave it.  The problem was that the number seven and the number four settings on his razor weren’t working only the number one and this is the result.

Bradley is now at home nursing some bruises after his dramatic highside but was lucky to get away with just that.  He is more disappointed with only having scored 16 Championship points so far this season.

Smith said “I couldn’t believe it when the pit board told me I’d completed just 12 laps.  The race seemed to be going on for ever and ever and I was riding so hard corner to corner rather than letting it flow. - I never felt that comfortable but I was determined to try and stop the two leaders break away.  The problem is I’m still learning about the Aprilia and it gives you no warning when it wants to throw you off and I was on the limit.  The whole weekend we were struggling to get the setting exactly right and although we made some big steps on Saturday morning, I was still having problems with the rear end of the bike in the second qualifying session in the afternoon.”
