Aspar Aprilia's Bradley Smith reckons MotoGP organisers Dorna should have ditched the results from this evening's shortened 125GP race instead of doleing out half-points for four laps.

The Oxfordshire teenager says that even though the situation means his fifth place was good enough to leave him only 7.5 point behind race winner Andrea Iannone, it's all a bit strange.

"I'm quite disappointed - on the one hand because I didn't get a good start and but above all because of this weird situation. I think it's better to cancel a race than dish half points out after four laps," said Smith.

"It's all a bit strange but the decision's been made and there's nothing we can do about it now. We have to look on the bright side, which is that I'm only seven and a half points behind the leader! Now we can look forward to Japan and hopefully do well in a race that goes all the way to the end."
