West är 2,5s efter täten i FP1 på nya KTM 250,
bra lr anus?
Hyfsat kanske första gången den rullar ut på tävlingsbanan,
det är först nästa år den ska kunna göra resultat?

After turning 24 this week Anthony West will make his race debut on the new KTM factory 250cc two-stroke machine in this Sunday's 250cc British Grand Prix at Donington Park. The race is round eight of this year's 250cc world championship. West tested the Austrian manufacturer's new 250cc machine at the Vallelunga track in Italy on July 6-7.
"I've waited years for this chance on a factory bike so this is an important step up in my career. I had a good race at Donington a couple of years ago and got on the podium, but I also fell there in the wet (in 2000). The track is bumpy in a lot of places and there are some hard-braking parts on the back section.
"It's been frustrating sitting out so many races in the first half of the season waiting for the new bike to be finished. At the same time KTM wanted to do the best possible job with the bike, and I understand that. The test we did with the new bike was positive – it was my first ride on a GP bike with a parallel-twin engine and it feels strong. The bike seems to accelerate really well. With a new bike there is still plenty of development work to be done, and we won't know how competitive the KTM is against the works Hondas and Aprilias until we get on the track. I can't wait."
