"The Angaia and Matteoni racing teams have announced a collaborative agreement for the 2007 season, which sees them joining forces to support each other's efforts in 125cc and 250cc respectively. The deal also allows Anthony West to ride a semi-official Aprilia and show what he can do in the quatre litre class.

Angaia racing's plans had previously involved Czech standout Jakub Smrz and Italian Luca Morelli in 250cc, but now they have shifted their focus to 125cc, putting last year's rider Lorenzo Zanetti on a development Aprilia kit bike.

Matteoni racing bring back Anthony West for a ride on the RSW LE, hoping to push him higher than his regular top ten finishes in 2006 on a kit bike. He will ride alongside young frenchman Jules Cluzel, who has a year's worth of experience under his belt in 250cc and will have a kit Aprilia at his disposal.

Paolo Tajana and Massimo Matteoni's teams will run as seperate outfits, although with close collaboration throughout the season."

Hope he doesn't whinge too much about it!!!!! :lol:

If it wasn't for global warming I'm sure Westie would have a world championship by now!

Poor bloody Ant, SO much skill and so little charisma to anyone but an Aussie.
That drawl must put so many prospective sponsors off.
I reckon its great by the way (QLDER !!!) but I dont think it goes over too well in Europe (or Melbourne for that matter).
I thought once he hit the circus his speech and manner would get polished but in the little we DO get to see of him, such does not appear to be the case.
Hope he kicks ars.

Hit the nail on the head there Frogz!

His on screen presence would be great for a valium manufacturer, but that's about it! :lol:
