Ant West in MotoGP 2012!!

Not good news, really. Anthony has again signed with a second-rate team. That's the reason why he should have taken a sabbatical this year, recharged his batteries and then went looking for a ride (in a team that could actually win) later this year, so he was well set for 2013. Anthony's career has been one of going from one second-string team to another, you can't make it to the top like that.

is britain its always wet there

I would think the only thing worse than racing in a shit team is not racing at all... You got to hang around and stay in people's minds...

hang on, i think i found a championship westy hasnt been kicked out of yet or run out of money from (it may look familiar to some here). i wonder if team managers this prestigious comp have been fielding phone calls from Britain ?

I'm sorry, but I disagree. Nothing degrades the confidence of the rider and depletes his reputation in the eyes of others than racing for 15th place on a bike that is always going to be 10 seconds off the pace. I stand by my original statement that Ant should have taken a year off.

Hasn't held back those CRT riders who came some between first and who gives a toss in the the who cares championship

Terry O'Neill popped this up about Westy. Read carefully though, as it only says one round....................

"For those that may be interested below is a link to the FX FaceBook page where there is a press release from Aluma-Lite announcing that Anthony West will race the Derek Williams Aluma-Lites BMW S1000RR in the FX-Superbike class at the first round of the YMF Loan Yamaha Australian FX-Superbike Championship at Eastern Creek Raceway on the 17-18th March.

Long time Aluma-Lites campaigner Johnny Allen will also make a come back in the Pro-Twins class on a Ducati 1198.

Well the Beemer should be quick enough u would think?? guess it depends on how good the team is to, they ran dukes for the last couple of sessions, time will tell, but i reckon he should go ok there.

Yeah but first time on a bike is always a touch and go area. I would think they would use it more as set up time then point acquiring for the series.

Scott Charlton went ok on the alumalite BMW at winton last year. And that is not a track suited to the BMW.

Yep and he went did a bang up job at the last AFX round at EC also.

That Beamer smoked the Yamaha boys down the straight.
