In an article in Motorsprint’s weekly magazine, Anthony West who will be leaving Motogp for theSupersport series riding a Honda for Team Stiggy, had a few words about his 2008 season and team.
I hope Melandri doesn’t come to Kawasaki too charged up, because he’ll soon realize that if Kawasaki doesn’t change radically he’ll find himself at the bottom of the standings, again.
The situation in Kawasaki is embarrassing as mine has been throughout the year.
I thank Kawasaki for having given me the chance to race in MotoGP, but they’ve got do something otherwise they’ll never come out of it.
According to West, next year’s single tire rule will worsen the situation in Kawasaki:With our bike we’ve never been able to use the tyres used by Rossi and Stoner, I tried them at Brno, and I would have liked to use them at Misano, but we weren’t able anymore.
We use a front that no one else uses.
Maybe Suzuki is in as bad a shape as we are …
