Ant West in MotoGP

[Shaun]

Where'd anyone say we know best?

I'll tell you why you fuck around when you have to say. Regardless of what Mr West and obviously yourself think mate, top level motorcycle racing is a team sport. Everybody in that garage is doing the best they can with what they have available. Now, when it goes wrong and things don't go as planned, jumping up and down about how your team need to get their act together and give you better equipment is not only unproffessional, it's fucking rude. If one of my employees was to sing from the rafters to the media about what a lousy workplace they had and how shit their co workers were because we had a bad day, I wouldn't renew their contract.

Not calling anyone a moron, but I can tell you right now that if there's some decent wet races, we'll see Ant West have some semi decent rides, but we'll also hear a whole lot about how crap his CRT bike is and how he needs the same equipment as Stoner so he can teach them all how it's done.

In fact, I'll put a box of Heinekins on it if you're keen mate.

Why IS he EMPLOYED then dude, As I said, on here must Know better than the professionals that pay his wages


No thanks to Heinekens mate, I bet/gamble on nothing these days, but always stand by my word


Hahahahahahah

So if you are the first CRT rider home on the first CRT bike, you are not the best CRT racer?

Do they pick the best one in a raffle or something?

On that note - did you read:

Why we're forced to go down the CRT path, whether we like it or not!

Suzuki's withdrawal from MotoGP illustrates perfectly why Dorna and IRTA have elected to pursue the CRT project. When the series switched to four-stroke engines in 2002, the manufacturers - assembled in the MSMA - were given control of the technical regulations, on the understanding that they would provide a plentiful supply of machines to fill the grid with. The spiralling cost of racing four-stroke engines, made exponentially worse by smaller capacities and limiting fuel to just 21 liters, saw manufacturers pull out, Aprilia leaving after just three years of four-stroke racing, Kawasaki holding on until 2008, and only fielding a single bike in 2009 after pressure from Dorna to fulfil their contract. Suzuki's withdrawal leaves just three of the original manufacturers in the series, with Honda, Yamaha and Ducati fielding factory prototypes in 2012. Without CRT, there would be just 12 bikes on the grid for 2012, the teams simply no longer able to afford the exorbitant lease prices charged by the factories for their machines, anywhere between 2.5 million and 4.5 million euros a year.>

Yep. That's why I said what I did. Stoner, Lorenzo and the rest will be shitting themselves now Ant West is joining in. When they all end up on CRT bikes...they're fucked.

Ant West is to be commended for "speaking his mind" but anyone that speaks their own and disagrees with his boyfriends, are morons

Here we go

The Speed Master team has confirmed its entry as a CRT in the MotoGP category for the 2012 season, with Anthony West its chosen rider for the step up to the premier class.

Australian rider West has previous MotoGP experience, most recently in 2008, and has been riding in the Moto2 class for the past two seasons with MZ Racing.

The 30 year-old’s crew chief on the Speed Master team will be Tommaso Raponi, and the team has announced it will run with an Aprilia engine with a chassis yet to be confirmed.

West’s first season in the premier class was on board a Honda 500cc in 2001, and he rode the majority of the 2007 campaign and the entire 2008 season in the MotoGP category for Kawasaki.

Correct me if I'm wrong , but I was told that Ants dad is rich, rich, rich ..... some sort of plumbing import/export/multiple store outlet thing.
...... wonder if that has anything to do with why Ant has managed to remain in the fold whilst other talented riders vanish from the scene.
