I've just watched the 125cc Grand Prix race from Le Mans in France, 250's next then the mighty motoGP machines (that aren't actually as mighty as they once were, though faster, 800cc down from 1000. The powers that be citing safety as the motivator; which is funny really as the 800 machines have broken the lap record set by the 1000's at virtually every circuit so far).
But, y'know, the big boys do love their rules.

Anyway, the point of this post was to mention the third place getter in the 125's. A young fellow by the name of Bradley Smith from England. And what was so remarkable about the young lad was just HOW young he looked. He's apparently 16 years old, but upon seeing him in the interviews (top 3) he actually looks somewhere around 12, a fact attested to by the presenter of the show, David Murdoch. He, as I, also alluded to it behind a chuckle.

Good God, I feel ancient!
