Bradley wants to stay loyal to Alberto Puig and to stay with Honda as he hopes to progress to Moto GP within their ranks.

But if Puig is off to KTM, where does that leave his long term relationship with Dani? Could Dani be seriously considering shipping out from Honda?

Bradley has the chance to ride for the Aspar team and for me that has to be the option to go with. Things change over your career and to be offered the best bike at any time has to be taken advantage of.(Aspar have the defending 125 World Champ and 3 out of the top 4 in this seasons standings)

KTM and Aprilia are going to continue to be strong in the 125 class for a few seasons yet.

Dani? who is this Dani of whom you speak?

[muzikill]

he's the one struggling to get a 3rd place just now!

Struggling is true. But the very fact he has managed it up to now is in itself testament to his incredible ability.;)

The boy should take this ride - the honda has a small advantage through the corners, but the aprillia overal beats the honda due to straight-line speed. With the aprillia, Bradley could be visiting the podium a little more frequently...
