Ant West
Surprise, surprise that im the one to re-create this thread
Just a quick update from Ants personal website..
UPDATE 5th of December 2006:
"Aprilia is holding a bike for Anthony, but there must be some things sorted out with the possible team he could ride with in 2007 and also the contract with some italian sponsors is not signed yet. So Ant followers out there keep the fingers crossed for your man and be excited what will come up next on this website... I will let you know asap - the webmaster!"
And the 5th of December was my bday, what a coincidance
Peace..I opened up all the windows..the air is cold, the tub is boiling hot..It's like Sweden, man. Sweden!

Do ya reckon his head is getting sore by now after banging against a brick wall for so long? Time for him to move on to greener pastures like WSS I reckon.

I cant Italian, but here is something i guess is saying something like Locatelli and Simoncelli is going to defend the colours of the red rings next year?

Another small, if insignifigant update:-
Extract from motogp.com:-
"Heidolf is joined by Alex Baldolini in 2007, on a kit Aprilia. 2006 Teammate Anthony West's future is still up in the air, although it is believed that he has an exciting 250cc ride lined up."
That sort of gives the impression that Ant's ride, should it come off, will be better than a standard kit bike. Now we just have to figure out what team he'll be riding with. Maybe a new one?? Anyway, at least we Ant fans have some hope..I opened up all the windows..the air is cold, the tub is boiling hot..It's like Sweden, man. Sweden!

for a Moto GP hardcore fan, is the 250cc more important than the World Superbike ??
Subaru World Rally champion...in 2008 :D
It's not over until it's over. Other punctures or issues may come. Yesterday night it also looked very different than now just four stages later.
