Australian privateer Ant West moved from 12th to equal 10th in this year’s 250cc motorcycle world championship series after finishing ninth in today’s Catalunya Grand Prix in Spain. West, riding a non-factory Kiefer-BOS Racing Aprilia, completed the 23 lap race in a time of 42-minutes 11.286-secs. He finished 43.107-seconds behind the race-winning Humangest Racing Honda of Italian Andrea Dovizioso. The results on the 4.7km circuit near Barcelona lifted West’s world championship points tally to 34 after seven rounds, the same score as Japanese Repsol Honda rider Shuhei Aoyama. West scored seven points at Catalunya. Dovizioso leads the series on 133 points. West, who qualified 14th at Catalunya, was 12th after the opening lap. He improved to ninth by lap eight, riding in a group which also included works Red Bull KTM rider Manuel Poggiali, Italian Andrea Ballerini on a Campetella Aprilia, and Columbia’s Martin Cardenas on a Wurth BQR Honda. On lap 17 West dropped back to 12th after riding wide in a corner, but regained ninth before the finish. The 24-year-old has now scored world championship points in 67 of his 91 grand prix starts in the 125cc, 250cc, and 500cc categories since 1998. The eighth round
of this year’s 250cc world championship is at Assen in the
Netherlands on June 24. West won the Assen race in 2003 in wet
conditions. |
