Ant West

Wayne Gardner in his regular article in October Issue of Aussie Mag RAPID BIKES had this to say " Westy is off to WSS at this stage and I think it's the best thing for him to be honest, as the technology in MotoGP just doesn't suit his natural riding style at this stage"

I rekon he would have to be very close to the money shot as Ant's manager is Gardners' former manager and is still in regular contact with him and Tony Hatton ( Suzuka winner + 5 Aussie titles ). One can only wonder if it is the Kwak ZX6R currently running 21st - Fujiwara and 31st - Craig Martin.
And lets get real ..... Fujiwara has 6 WSS wins and 21 WSS podiums and 7 fastest laps,,,,,, plus 2 WSBK podiums,,,,,,, so I guess he can ride!!
Poor !!!

Time will tell where Ant ends up.

Chris Martin only had one ride as a stand in at Donington park. Chris Walker was the regular rider and he was 13th before he walked out of the team to join Paul Bird's superbike team.

Not that bad but not good either

the kwack hasn't done squat in wsbk or wss or bsb or, or(searches mind)...only ama, really.

i say to ant, stay off the kwack.

Walker is a class act..... 13th on a factory bike,,,,,, not that good and not that good either :)

See Martin is 5th in Ist Qual in Vallelunga..... it aint the riders at fault.

Wet Qual mind you.. So the bike isn't doing the work, the rider is..

Ant West's (and mine) possible ride for 2009? Talk of the WSB and WSS Kwak efforts going in house for next year as they're not happy with how PSG-1 and whoever runs the WSS program.

Pretty much but better.

Nice, but I'd prefer the Triumph Street Triple.

But it's green. I guess all the good colours are taken. :p
