MOTOGP » West: It's been a crazy year!

mike hailwood;go play with your 250cc,350 and 500cc then set your alarm clock and wake up to yourself. Don't insult Mike Hailwood.

I think Westy is OK and I won the 250cc and 500cc world championships in the same year - so top that batty boy!!!

Double championships? Hah, I had four of those!
Freddie who?

rather pathetic how these people are acting like former gp racers :P lmao put your real name, all these riders were great in their time, their all champions so why with your stupid comments?

West did an admirable job last year considering where he came from. He will continue to get better next year but what can't be discounted is his wet weather skills. Kawasaki know they will not win a GP under normal circumstances and will need an outside influence, like rain to win their first GP. My money is on West to do this.

Four double championships - absolute pants! I won 7 titles with no engine and only one nadger...

25 posts on this subject at the moment 5 posts by Wierdo's and one Wierdo deleted, must say something about the sport we follow or perhaps the world we live in????

Weirdo! That's a bit rich coming from someone calling themselves Saltbush. Words that spring to mind are; 'pot', 'kettle', 'black'

Considering the MotoGP Community don't expect people to be winning in their first season why do we expect Westy to be right up the front in his first half season? Give the guy a chance. I am sure it is not easy comming in half way through a season. He has been able to run with guys who have been in MotoGP for many seasons so why should he have to go if he doesn't win when others have been filling the grid for many seasons with out a win. Riders like Edwards, Hopkins etc who have had factory rides year in year out with out result.
Also when someone does win in their second season no one gives them credit and says it is all the bike/tyres. Make up your minds!

That's only if the rider jumpes onto the best bike in the field and when there has been a significant rule change just before his second season that makes it all incomparable. In all other instances they will get full credit.
This goes for Anthony West too, if he starts winning races in 2008 he will be applauded
