TEAM STIGGY SIGN ANTHONY WEST FOR 2009

Team Stiggy Motorsport Honda are happy to announce that they have signed Australian rider Anthony West for 2009. The 27-year old will leave his factory MotoGP ride at the end of the season, for the highly-competitive Supersport World Championship.�Anthony is no stranger to World Supersports. He made his mark in the 600 class, as a replacement rider in 2007, taking two wins and one third during his short spell in the series.

Anthony�s race experience is impressive. He started out in the Australian Dirt track championships in 1994, winning the class soon afterwards, before carrying on to win the domestic long track championship in 1996. He then moved into road racing and won the Australian 250cc Production Championship in 1998, taking �Rider of the Year� title in the process.�He raced in Japan before joining the International Grand Prix paddock in 1999 - in the 250cc class. In 2001, he had a brief foray in the 500cc championship, but was soon back in the 250cc class again. During his six years in the 250cc class, Anthony�managed five podiums, including one win.

Johan Stigefelt
"I'm very pleased to have Anthony onboard. We both come from MotoGP and the 250cc class and know each other well, having been team mates in 2003. I know he is a talented rider, a fighter and a winner and he will be the perfect match for us next year. Ever since his �wild-card� ride in Supersport 2007, I have wanted him in our team. Now it's a reality and we will have to put all our efforts into a successful relationship. With four years experience in World Supersports, I believe we�ll be able to give him a winning Honda. Our aim is high - we will be fighting for the title next year."

Anthony
"Im very happy to be joining the Stiggy team. Stiggy is a friend an old team-mate from 2003 in 250GP. I remember saying to him one day that he should start his own team because none of the other teams knew how to do it right, and to my�surprise�he did! Over the last couple of years I heard from�everybody�in the industry that the Stiggy team it's one of the better ones in the championship. To have a team boss that knows what it's like to race and knows what racing is all about is just great! After a difficult�year in MotoGP I need to race on a bike that can win, and in Supersport together with team Stiggy I can. For 2009 I have only one goal - To win! "

Supervärvning!

Ställde faktiskt frågan "vem anser ni vara den mest underskattade föraren i Moto Gp denna säsongen?" till reportarna på Euosport, och deras svar var entydigt, de ansåg West som helt klart mycket vassare än resultaten visar.

Det är blir kanon, vilket team Haslam / West !!!
