nice to see MZ still running as such a professional and tight unit:
Ant West
Not a good start!
Packed to go to Italy
Said goodbye to my family
Got to the airport to find..

So I'm still in Oz
And going Sunday. :-/

Thumbs up for new MZ!
1st day on the bike was in the right direction, apart from only getting 3 hours on the bike because we only have one to share between me and Max.
We'll hopefully have another bike for the next test. The new team members are great and also the new truck box and tools make MZ feel like a real factory team, making it all a much better feeling to start the year on!I opened up all the windows..the air is cold, the tub is boiling hot..It's like Sweden, man. Sweden!

Glad to hear it's all more positive on the inside coz the first testing times aren't all that encouraging. Early days.

The good news at MZ - they are getting FTR frames to replace their own in house ones. The bad new for Ant is that they are only for Max, West has to persist with the MZ ones. Apparently once (if) the MZ one starts to perform as well as the FTR frame then Max has to swap back.

The positive view of this would be that MZ knows that the FTR is a better chassis than their own and want to incorporate its features into the re-design of their own chassis. However, if they find there is bugger-all difference in the performance of the bike then they will know that the lack of performance lies elsewhere.
The end result will hopefully be more competitive bikes for the entire team including Westicles.
