What a race and what riding skill of West!!
His knowledge of tyre management was what allowed him to gain a gap of 4 seconds in 4 laps against the other riders that were racing for the 4 position.
He even managed to get to the top and come second after a good try by the 2012 world champion.
West does not have a good chassis setup and this only allows him to perform well when the ability of the rider is the main factor in a particular race.
He have done very well in the wet coming 3rd in Sepang and yesterday in Phillip Island were the bike setup it is not critical he was second.
I hope that he get a better bike or team next year.
