Yeah... qualified 15th last outing didn't he?????? :roll: I gotta say, at first i was a big supporter of Ant, but, he has given me ..... nothing ...... Nort........ Zip ...... Nada ...........Zero! Wouldn't matter what he rode now, he's a never been and a mobile chicane for the fast guys and it's time he hung up the boots and gloves.

thats a little bit harsh... 8)

he actually qualified 22nd..so to get to 4th isnt half bad. but we all know he's good in the wet/dodgy conditions. i dont accept your point that he's a mobile chicane in Moto2 though..but unfortunately it may end up the case as a CRT rider.. :(

poor teams will always be hard to win on,MZ were struggling to afford parts for his bike. All CRT riders are going to struggle, it'll be a 2 seperate races in 1

Shame tho, he went well when he was younger, and goes well in the wet!!! u would think that would make him a great rider?? but just never seemed to have stepped up to the next level.
And i kno one national a grader(factory rider) that doesnt rate him at all!!!
But he's a aussie having a go, so im allways hoping he will go well.

A well known Aussie racer once said "ant west couldn't set up a fuckin pushbike"

But as far as CRT teams go, he might go alright. I think the power suited him more that the 600.

Looks like he's riding an Aprilia engine'd CRT bike.

If it goes like Biaggi's one it might be alright?

So am I, but I am just not in any way confident. He hasn't shown that sharp edged brilliance he did in his first few years at international level. As much as I wish he would, I just don't think he could.
