West: Estoril should be better
11 September 2007West is steadily coming to grips with the advanced bike and tyre technology of MotoGP and is proving a strong team member and reliable, fast and consistent rider, gradually learning his way around the 200+bhp Ninja.
The 26-year-old Australian has managed to score points in every race he's run for the team, having joined Kawasaki in June. Last time out, at Misano, he grabbed another fine placement, crossing the line in 8th position and, like team mate De Puniet, arrives at Estoril with a number of previous top ten results at the circuit from when he competed in the 250cc class. He will be out to maintain the positive momentum of his achievements so far, which have impressed both team and fans alike, ultimately aiming for a personal best, which will mean beating the remarkable seventh he scored at Laguna Seca in July.
Anthony West said about the upcoming race: "At the test after the Misano race, we made some changes to the set up which immediately made me quicker and helped with the chatter problems I've been having, which means I should be able to run faster in Portugal. I like the track at Estoril, although it's quite complex. It will be better than Misano for seeing what the revised engine's capable of, especially down the long start/finish straight, but the slow, tight sections will keep us on our toes as well!"
