KAWASAKI PAIR PREPARED FOR PORTUGAL
Round three of the 2008 MotoGP World Championship takes place at Estoril this weekend and will see the premier class teams gather on Sunday for a demanding, 28-lap race.
After the historic night race at Qatar, followed by the recent battle at Jerez, the Portuguese Grand Prix should prove another thrilling event, held at the notoriously difficult 4.182km circuit.
Kawasaki's John Hopkins is looking forward to it. With his fitness steadily approaching 100% after his crash at Phillip Island in January, the Anglo-American is looking stronger than ever and feels he can tackle Estoril with relish after finishing a healthy seventh in Spain last month.
Furthermore, an extra day's testing at Jerez, after the race, proved highly productive as the 24-year-old continues to perfect adjustments to the Ninja ZX-RR to suit his fast, aggressive riding style. With his engineers concentrating on gearing and suspension settings to accommodate Estoril's numerous, tough corners, heavy braking will be the order of the day and the crew has been aiming to maximise stability to deal with the arduous race.
Hopkins' team mate, Anthony West, looked stronger at Jerez than he has for a while and his raised confidence, both in himself and the ZX-RR, showed his fighting spirit is far from on the wane. The 27-year old Australian fought hard and is now keen to see what he can pull out of the hat at Estoril.
Last year, West's first MotoGP outing at the circuit proved tricky. The track is notoriously hard on tyres and his traction suffered. However, he still managed to finish 12th after qualifying in 16th.
Estoril is one of the slowest tracks in the MotoGP calendar but it nonetheless represents a huge challenge to the premier class riders as it snakes its way through 13 corners, including numerous hairpins and a very nasty chicane near its northern parameters. Then there's the famous long, stretched-out, tyre-eating Parabolica, which sees the bikes at maximum lean for what must seem like an eternity before they get on the gas for the 986m start finish straight. There, spectators can regularly see the bikes reach speeds of up to 320kmh so there's plenty of guaranteed entertainment value.
Built in 1972, the circuit, close to Portugal's Atlantic coast and not far from capital city, Lisbon, hosted its first MotoGP round in 2000 and has witnessed some of the closest racing in the championship's history.
Last year's race was won by Valentino Rossi, who provided edge-of-your-seat action with Spaniard, Dani Pedrosa, as the two diced for the front. Rossi's victory was particularly significant for Casey Stoner, whose crowning as the 2007 MotoGP World Champion had to wait another week, until after the Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi.
With both Kawasaki Racing Team riders so evidently raring to go, and the ZX-RR looking even better than ever, who knows what Sunday will bring…
John Hopkins: Kawasaki MotoGP Pilot #21
'I'm feeling really positive for the weekend. I like Estoril. The tight corners require a lot of heavy braking, which should really suit my riding style as well as suiting the Kawasaki machine. It's good because nobody's had much testing time there, so it's kind of an even field, and I enjoy the atmosphere there too. I felt a lot better after Jerez than I did after Qatar. We got a positive result and made some good improvements to the bike so hopefully we can utilise those in Portugal. So, I'm excited about going there and I'm really looking forward to the race.'
Anthony West: Kawasaki MotoGP Pilot #13
'I'm feeling a bit more upbeat now. My result at Jerez, and my feeling on the bike, were much better than at Qatar so I'm feeling better prepared now to tackle the next race with a bit more confidence. Also, my fitness levels are still going up and I'm finding it much easier to go the full race distance without backing off. I'm more consistent now and that's reflected in my lap times. Estoril is a good track to ride. It's got a very long straight and the rest is made up of tighter sections; some of them really tight. It's always going to be hard getting a MotoGP bike around there and last year, rear grip was a problem for me. Mind you, we played around with the ZX-RR's settings at Jerez, after the recent Spanish GP, and made some real improvements. Overall it was much better so I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do at the weekend.'
Westy must already know his days are numbered:
Kawasaki say they plan to approach Valentino Rossi in the next month with a view to signing him to a 2009 deal.
Rossi's Yamaha contract expires at the end of this season, and Kawasaki team boss Michael Bartholemy has declared his interest in enticing the five-time MotoGP champion to Kawasaki.
"We are interested in Valentino, even though I've never spoken either to him or his manager," Bartholemy told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"But I'd like to and soon, because this would be the perfect time. Our first two races didn't go well. So Shanghai could be the right place."
Kawasaki have made a low-key start to 2008, with John Hopkins's seventh place at Jerez their best result in the opening two races.
But Bartholemy believes their form has been hidden as Hopkins recovered from a pre-season injury.
"We are improving," he insisted. "We haven't demonstrated that in the first two races as a consequence of Hopkins's injury in Phillip Island testing. But we are convinced we have a good bike and that future developments will make it even better.
"To hire Rossi would put more pressure on us, because you can't have a rider like Valentino and end up 15th. The Rossi-Hopkins pairing would be perfect."
Rossi was open-minded about the possibility of Kawasaki talks.
"It's true, I've never spoken with Kawasaki," he told Gazzetta. "It will depend on what they offer me."
Bartholemy expects Kawasaki to enjoy significantly larger resources next season.
"I'd like to field a third official bike," he said. "Our budget should rise by at least five million euros. If the objectives get bigger, then it becomes easier to convince the management to invest."
Should Rossi decline Kawasaki's offer, Bartholemy said impressive rookie Andrea Dovizioso - currently riding for JiR Scot Honda - and 250cc rider Alvaro Bautista were on the team's shortlist.
"I'm thinking of three other riders, including two very young ones, one of which is already in MotoGP," he said.
"(Dovizioso) is a fine rider and he's very intelligent. I like him.
"I had already suggested (Bautista) in 2006 after Motegi, when (Shinya) Nakano announced his retirement. Back then the top management didn't believe in him. They regret that."

yeah, it looks like kwak are moving on. i think ant will be fine, though. he'll certainly excel at wsbk, which i'd expect him to pursue rather than try to soldier on in the back of the motogp grid.
i was predicting this from the time Kwak announced Ant's signing for 12 months only.... and was laughed out of the building.............. i feel sort of vindicated now.Quote:

West was always going to have to really perform well to stay in MotoGP. Whilst I won't quite right him off yet, somehow he has to find a heap of speed so he can be challenging Hopkins. His ride isn't lost yet if they field 3 bikes next year but it is if current form continues.
Just as a side note, I suggested Kwak should have made a big play for Dovi for this year. I think they missed the boat with that one as I reckon he will take Hayden's spot at Repsol and Bautista and Kallio will be next on team greens shopping list along with Nicky.
oh no ninja.... no one on here, on another forum that i frequent that isn't solely motorsport related...... it' more the fact that it's being reported more than it being set in stone that i'm saying i feel vindicated about.Quote:

I totally agree with the alternates........ Bautista has to be the main goal IMHO.
Shouldn't that be "The KING and I" ...haha, sorryQuote:

Appears Hopkins made the right move...just wait til Ant finds form too. :up:Quote:

HOPKINS ON A HIGH AFTER ESTORIL
The Portuguese Grand Prix took place today at Estoril and Kawasaki rider, John Hopkins, claimed his best ever finish at the circuit. The 24-year-old Anglo American rode over the line in fifth position after 28 laps, giving him his first top five position at Estoril, which is famously hard on bikes, riders and tyres.
However, Hopkins, his Ninja ZX-RR and the Bridgestone rubber he was running, all held up against the violent assault of the gruelling race. His ride also provided him with his best finish so far since joining Kawasaki, beating his previous highest placing, a seventh, at Jerez last month.
Meanwhile, team mate Anthony West, fared less well, passing the chequered flag in a disappointing 16th position after struggling to find his form. He will now aim to up his game and claim some much-needed points in the forthcoming rounds after further testing at Estoril tomorrow.
The next race is at Shanghai in two weeks' time. It will be Hopkins' centenary round in MotoGP so with that to celebrate, and buoyed by today's excellent result, he will no doubt be looking to emulate his podium finish at the Chinese circuit last year. But on a green bike this time!
John Hopkins: 5th Position
"I'm really pleased as my aim was for a top five finish today. I got a really good start and the first lap was quite frantic as I went around the outside of a few riders, before settling into a rhythm with the leading pack. There was a bit of rain to contend with in the opening laps and I made some small mistakes, which caused me to drop back a little. Around halfway, the grip level dropped but I raced as hard as possible as Casey Stoner was closing the gap between us. Our main area to improve on is qualifying, as we keep giving ourselves a lot of work to do in the race by having a poor grid position. I'm looking forward to Shanghai: the Kawasaki will be better suited to it and we can hopefully achieve an even stronger result there."
Anthony West: 16th Position
"What can I say about today that the result doesn't already say for me? It would be easy to say I'm disappointed but, if I'm completely honest, the main feeling is one of intense frustration. I just can't seem to get the bike to work for me; all weekend it's felt nervous and it's constantly moving around. I can ride round the problems on the straights and into the turns but I'm losing massive amounts of time on the exit, where the bike feels like it's going to throw me off if I so much as touch the throttle. John doesn't seem to have the same problem, which just makes it doubly frustrating. We'll aim to find a solution during testing tomorrow, because I'm not here to run around at the back of the field."
Michael Bartholemy: Kawasaki Competition Manager
"To finish fifth here is superb as Estoril is not a place we've been particularly strong at in the past. John rode a fantastic race and he was also the second Bridgestone rider to cross the line. Now I hope we can continue to move forward at the next race, where the track is more suited to our Ninja ZX-RR and our Bridgestone tyres. I had hoped for a better result from Anthony. Normally he's able to turn it on in the race and improve on both his practice and qualifying performance, but it just didn't happen for him today. We need to find the root cause of his problems, and then come up with a solution, because the current situation isn't good for him and it isn't good for Kawasaki."

FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS FOR KAWASAKI
Following a superb fifth place finish for John Hopkins yesterday at Estoril, the Kawasaki Racing Team concluded today's post-race test with more positive results. Both Hopkins and Anthony West improved on their race lap times, whilst making further set-up enhancements to their Ninja ZX-RR machines.
Having achieved his best result so far for Kawasaki yesterday, Hopkins worked closely with Bridgestone to evaluate a series of rear tyre options. The 24-year-old improved his race pace around the 4.182km circuit using a new specification rear tyre, which he felt made a big difference to the handling of his machine.
Hopkins also refined the set-up of the chassis that was introduced to the racetrack for the first time in Friday's practice session, and concluded his test with a few practice starts. The Anglo-American is confident of a good result at the next round in China, where he achieved his first MotoGP podium last year.
West returned to the track today determined to improve his pace after his disappointment with yesterday's race result. The Australian rider and his crew made some alterations to his machine's base setting and this was successful in helping the 26-year-old to regain his feeling for the bike.
West also tested a new rear tyre option that somewhat improved the manoeuvrability of his Kawasaki, as it provided a much smoother corner entry and more rear traction, which boosted the Australian's confidence in both himself and his Ninja ZX-RR after such a difficult weekend.
After completing 96 laps of the Estoril circuit today West now heads to America to continue his training ahead of round four of the MotoGP championship, which takes place at the Shanghai circuit in just over two weeks time.
John Hopkins: #21: 62 Laps - 1:36.872
"Today has been useful as we've made another step forward with our race set-up. We worked closely with Bridgestone to test a lot of rear tyre options, one of which worked particularly well for us. I hope that they will be able to provide us with this specification for Shanghai as I really feel it will make a big difference to our race pace. We've also made some alterations to the chassis, which has improved the rear traction of the machine. Every time I get on board the Kawasaki it seems to get better and better, so I hope we can achieve another great result at the next round."
Anthony West: #13: 96 Laps - 1:39.065
"Following yesterday's result, I was keen to get out on the bike today to try and improve our lap times. We altered some of the machine's base settings and this enabled me to lap more consistently than during the race weekend. Although the times weren't a vast improvement, I felt that I could be much smoother through the turns and I had more confidence to push harder, even after 17 or so laps. Bridgestone gave us two tyre options to test, one of which felt particularly good and I hope we'll be able to use this in Shanghai. The next round should be much more suited to the Kawasaki, and I really want to improve my results there."
Naoya Kaneko: Kawasaki Technical Manager
"In today's test we ran through a lot of tyre options supplied by Bridgestone. This proved positive, with both riders finding improvements with a race tyre specification. With John's machine we tested various chassis, clutch and electronic components. All of these items have shown good results, but some of the components need developing further before being used in a race situation. With Anthony we concentrated on his base set-up, as he never really felt comfortable on the bike during the race weekend. Our aim was to give him more confidence on the bike and we certainly made a step forward with this, with Anthony's lap times improving today. We leave this event with some new parts for Shanghai and many plus points from the test, so I am happy overall."
Thanks for the post Roby. I get more info about the Green Machine here, than anywhere else :up:
"We are looking for riders who can get results. Thats the most important thing.." Michael Bartholemyof Kwak.
Has anyone told Ant West that ? heh heh.

Great to see Ant still upbeat even with his results thus far. His comment to Georgie Porgie (who has Bracksys gig) just before he went out on track for Estoril race when asked if he had any plans for the race " will just have to take out a few guys in front of me haha "
Cheers Jack
New shirts!!!
Are they purple!!! :)
I think Westy has to start being Westy again. Head down, ass up, and get stuck into it. Westy rode the Knackers off many a piece of junk, and got results that shouldn't have been possible. Now, he must do that again, and prove the critics wrong. Get into it Westy, what are ya waiting for.
I like Ant and his attitude but can't help but feel either his style doesn't suit the bigger capacity bikes or he's simply now out of his depth.
His still not totally fit team mate is consistently 2 seconds a lap faster.
Some difficult decisions will need to be made at Kawasaki if he doesn't improve. With Kawasaki only running 2 bikes they need to ensure that both get decent results and both contribute to testing. It's somewhat one sided at present.
No, pink. I think you'd love it! :)Quote:

Problem is, who could Kawa possibly replace him with?
Ant made OJ's results last year look like crap.. And he's showed him up in every test theyve both been in this year.. So pull your head in mate :)
I reckon a lot of people are really jumping the gun about rider sackings/replacements after only 3 rounds. If these results continue until the halfway mark of the season and a better replacement can be found then it should be a consideration. Given the way Bridgestone runners as a whole have generally struggled, I am confident that Ant and Marco will both have improved results in the next few races.

RIDER DIARY: ANTHONY WEST
I felt about as upbeat as I could have after the race in Jerez; the second round. I managed 13th position, and three points, so I wasn't exactly celebrating but, at the same time, at least it was better than the 16th I got at Qatar.
And in Spain I had a bit of a battle going on. I fought with Melandri and de Angelis and it went on right until the end of the race, so it was more of a fight than the race at Losail, where I had traction problems and couldn't keep up.
We stayed on for a day's testing at Jerez and I had a go on the 'screamer' bike. Its engine has an even firing order, unlike the one in our current bike, and Olivier Jacque has been developing it with the Kawasaki test team and the guys in Japan. It was really smooth. It sounds scarier than it really is when you ride it but that big wail you get from it is pretty cool and it's surprisingly nice to ride. The power delivery's smooth and it's easy to control so I can't wait for the engineers to do some more work on it… Then maybe we can race it. I only got 15 laps on it but in those laps I was already as fast as I had been on the normal ZX-RR; so that's a good sign. Especially as we hadn't even spent much time setting it up for me.
I can't wait until it's ready for us to take it to a race.
The team's just left Estoril after what was another bad result for me. I came last and obviously I'm not feeling too happy about that. For a while, things were going okay, and I was fighting with Melandri, Guintoli and Elias, but then my brake lever started playing up and I lost a lot of time at the end of the start finish straight when it came right back to the bar! You really don't need that happening at the best of times but that corner is real harsh. From then on, I was fighting with it.
The following day, we had another test and made some further changes to the bike's set up, as well as trying out some tyre options with Bridgestone. Immediately, I was going faster than I had over the weekend and I felt loads more confident. That's great but obviously it's kind of frustrating too, as I wish I'd felt that good during the race. Still, at least the changes are good and the next round is in Shanghai, which is a fast, flowing track and, apparently, better suited to our machine, so I'm aiming to do a hell of a lot better there…
The personal life is pretty mad at the moment too. My PA, Ben, and I have just moved from the basement in our building to the apartment on the top floor, giving us a load more space, which is great. I even bought at TV and a couch. We crashed out and watched Rambo 4 recently and it was fantastic; it felt like a real home!
But now I'm going to LA, straight from Portugal, for two weeks' cycling with John Hopkins' trainer, Johnny Louch, and I'll fly to China straight from there, so I won't get home. What's more, Michael, our competition manager at Kawasaki, has suggested I move to Belgium, which is a bit nearer the centre of the action as far as our team is concerned, as we're based in the Netherlands (and Michael lives nearby so he can keep an eye on me!). So while I'm away, Ben's going back to Austria to pack the stuff we've just spent a week carrying up three flights of stairs and, by the time I get back to Europe after the Shanghai round, I'll be living in Belgium.
This isn't the game to be in if a stable and predictable home life is your thing! Still, I'm sure it'll work out well. To be honest, I'm more worried about the Lycra cycling gear I'm going to have to wear in America …
No sack everyone lower than 10th in the standings. I will take Marco's Duc. Any other bids for the other rides :)Quote:

Anyways heres to a ferkin great result form the Green Ant. Have checked the weather forecast and there is a 90% chance of rain on Sunday.... and the weather man is always right.
I have been checking out some of Ants "crashes" in 2008 and they all look really bizarre. Front end loses and low speed "high sides". What the ? No wonder he has bugger all confidence in the thing
I'm actually pretty confident (not sure why) that Ant will have a much improved performance this weekend regardless of weather. I think that Shanghai being hopefully a more Bridgestone friendly track than the previous three rounds and also that Kawasaki are confident the Chinese circuit suits their bikes perhaps fuel this optimism. This is also why I'm rating Hopkins as a real dark horse for a podium this round.
Hopper was 3rd last year in this race so he will no doubt bein the mix.
Hopefully Ant can pull it all together and be in there too..

PROMISING START FOR KAWASAKI IN CHINA
The Grand Prix of China began today with the first two practice sessions of the weekend. In perfect warm, dry conditions, the premier class field headed out onto the 5.281km circuit at Shanghai with Kawasaki riders, John Hopkins and Anthony West, aboard their Bridgestone-shod Ninja ZX-RRs.
The 24-year-old Hopkins who, on starting Sunday's race, will become the youngest ever rider to achieve the landmark of partaking in 100 MotoGP rounds, came fifth fastest in both sessions, improving his times in the afternoon with a best lap of 2'00.591. Just over half a second off the leader, the Anglo-American is looking strong at the track, which boasts a fast, sweeping layout, well suited to the Kawasaki machine.
Meanwhile, West put his best lap in during the morning practice, with a time of 2'01.984 and a staggering top speed of 320.0kmh. The 27-year-old Australian was one of a number of riders, including pack-leader Valentino Rossi, whose early times were their strongest of the day and, as the Kawasaki squad experimented with settings on the ZX-RR, West's position on combined times was 15th in the group.
Practice continues tomorrow morning, followed by the qualifying session in the afternoon, at 13.55 hours, local time, prior to Sunday's 22-lap race.
John Hopkins: #21: 5th - 28 Laps – 2'00.591
'Today we worked on setting up the machine to suit my preferences around this circuit. I really like this track and I've always gone quite well here. In the afternoon session we tried a few different Bridgestone tyre combinations to find a choice that will last the distance on Sunday. We also evaluated various parts and we've finished practice very positively. I'm feeling confident and tomorrow we need to qualify well to put us in the best possible stead for the race.'
Anthony West: #13: 15th - 39 Laps – 2'01.984
'Although the times are not brilliant, we are making some progress and our fastest laps have been in the closing stages of each session. Hopefully, this means there is more to come, and we can continue going faster. Our biggest problem is with the power delivery and corner exit, where I feel we are losing a lot of time due to a lack of traction. Tonight we will review the data and try to find a solution to continue moving forwards.'
Naoya Kaneko: Kawasaki Technical Manager
'In practice today we've been working on our Shanghai race set-up. We haven't needed to make many changes for John from the last round at Estoril, so we've just been optimising the base setting we already have. We are not that far from the front but we need to improve the machine performance a little to be with the leaders. Anthony is slowly regaining his confidence and although his lap times are not quite where he needs to be, he is moving forwards. We will look at the data overnight and see which areas he needs to improve on tomorrow.'
Practice Times:
1. Valentino Rossi (46) Fiat Yamaha 1'59.906; 2. Casey Stoner (AUS) Ducati Marlboro Team +0.257; 3. Dani Pedrosa (SPA) Repsol Honda Team +0.455; 4. Shinya Nakano (JPN) Honda Gresini +0.647; 5. John Hopkins (USA) Kawasaki Racing Team +0.685; 6. Nicky Hayden (USA) Repsol Honda Team +0.701; 7. Alex De Angelis (RSM) Honda Gresini +1.025; 8. Loris Capirossi (ITA) Rizla Suzuki MotoGP +1.058; 9. Andrea Dovizioso (ITA) JIR Team Scott +1.068; 10. Colin Edwards (USA) Yamaha Tech 3 +1.158; 15. Anthony West (AUS) Kawasaki Racing Team +2.078
Just wanted to say, if you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all.
So I am going to say nothing!
