Never, never give in.
You would make a tough team boss Jim!
I have some expectations of West and count him out at your peril. May have to remind you of this thread?
Never, never give in.
Also Jim - West is not on this seasons front running marque. Just one up from the KR.

West took years to convince the 250 teams that he was worthy of a factory ride and when he got arguably the best one out there he screwed it up. Hopper is a better rider than West. His commitment is without question.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Never, never give in.
My impression was that the 250 KTM had issues and KTM wanted the opportunity to stop racing while they sorted it. As for West's future - time will tell.
But, neither he or Hopper are on any thing as potent as what Stoner has scored.
Never, never give in.
A bit about West and others - HERE:

I was talking about the Factory Aprilia ride he scored, not the KTM.

The Aprillia that he rode this year was a pretty low spec uncompetitive machine.

"Early in the 2007 season, he rode in the 250cc World Championship on a semi-factory, LE Aprilia run by Matteoni Racing. A disappointing start to the season saw West unable to match the times he set on the Kiefer Bos bike in 2006, with a best result of ninth after the fourth round of seventeen, leading him to quit the team."
It wasn't a low spec bike, he was getting 1 race old (in terms of development, not usage) factory parts, the sort of deal that has seen Tony Elias and Morco Melandri do very well on.
Anyway, West isn't top flight material. When the going gets really tough he'll fold like he always does, and there'll be a million excuses.

Not entirely original but very funny all the same
Yeah, sort of like Troy Bayliss last year

That was a 990, arguably more like a Superbike (though only vaguely related and remember Bayliss had 3 years of 990 experience) in character than an 800.Yeah, sort of like Troy Bayliss last year

Ya gotta give the Current World Champ credit for his attitude this year.
And his strong ride from the back of the grid in Germany deserves high marks.

This is damning with faint praise indeed.
The guy competed in just one MotoGP race last year and he totally dominated it. He gave the guys who would claim to be the worlds best the learn.
Motocourse have never previously listed a Superbike rider in their top 10.
Baylis made their list for last year.
Who said Toseland was going to Suzuki? He's hanging out for a ride on the RCV212 and if he can win the Superbike this year title he'll quite possibly get it.
Roll on Brno next weekend.

It's a shame he didn't do that while he was being paid to do it. Ducati and a Honda satellite team both fired him for being somewhat less than stellar. Remember also that he won a one off race at a track that he'd seen before.
