His post-race interview was a little better than in the past too. And in a twist of serendipity, I came across an old Performance Streetbike last night that has an interview with West from his early days in GP, will post some interesting snippets here tomorrow. In a nutshell, the interview (which also has interviews with his dad, mechanic etc.) opened my eyes a little to West's character, and my opinion of his worthiness has certainly changed. I think he deserves a good bike to take a shot at a title! I'll be happy to see him in either WSS or MotoGP but obviously the latter is where he wants to be.
