HRC Do You want another Doohan?

[Friar]

Attention HRC
You need another James Micheal Doohan
Porto has retired
GIVE ANT WEST THE RIDE !!!!
No questions,even Pedrosa is submitting to "The Doctors" Neurological attacks already. Capirossi is next on the list(he doesn't know it YET).
West is a RACER no room for such GAMES.

Now that would be sweet

Welcome to the forums Friar

and you think West won't get the Doctor treatment ?? .. yeah sure

It's a pity about West's attitude, and how it has stopped him getting a decent ride. I guess we will see him in WSBK next year.

I think Honda had the next Doohan last year for a few races and they let him go to Suzuki.

Vermeulen has the right attitude and the abilty to set up a bike and be able to communicate with his engineers. I think his efforts so far on the Suzuki have been outstanding and it would have been interesting to see him on a Honda.

Hmm, someone else has noticed the West attitude. It's incredible to think that this year some guy won on the KTM bike that West lost as a result of being difficult, if reports are to be believed.

HRC would love another Doohan I'm sure but there'll only ever be one! Now they've got Pedrosa, and they've got Stoner too! The Dove is waiting in the wings too so they are not lacking superstars in the making.

I was listening to Ant West just now on Foxtel and he doesn't come across well! He should be on a better bike without doubt but he sounds bitter and rather nasty! I wouldn't want someone like that in my team...

Are you people blind!

They already have another Doohan and his name is Casey Stoner!

As already said a million times, West had a factory NSR and was nowjhere near Ukawa, he is a talent dont get me wrong but is too much liek Gobert in thinking he should just be given a good ride instead of working for it!

[Mr V]

Stoner and Dani racing for HRC would be a dream line up, but i just can't see them dropping Hayden.

[chunder]

They dont need to drop Hayden, he is riding a beletr this year on what amounts to a test hack of a bike! And is beating Dani and everyone else!

Ok you would expect that as he is more experienced but i think he is doing a superb job.

Stoner is also right up there, and if LCR can keep him why would they want him elsewhere!!

[gomick]

i think friar meant that west should have got porto's repsol honda 250 ride.... as it turned out they gave it to some young spaniard & neither he or aoyama are finishing in the top 12

[DavidStHubbins]

I read on another forum that West could possibly be on a factory-supported bike in 250cc with the backing of an aging 125cc rider who may or may not ride too. Not sure who the rider is or what bike it would be and apparently nothing will be concrete until later in the year so...

All West has to do is let his riding do the talking, pray for some rain and try not to be such a whinging Pom... I mean Aussie

I am not sure if I'd want him in MotoGP though because he seems to lack a personality and is always moaning and *****ing about something. He could be the new Biaggi

Stoner is the next Aussie Honda hope, Vermeulen is improving all the time but the leap to MotoGP from WSBK is a messy and not always successful one. He probably has a lot of bad habits to unlearn this year as well as having to LEARN unfamiliar tracks. I think he'll come good though - he's young enough and good enough. Just needs some decent tyres and a learning year behind him and he'll fly.
