"The Angaia and Matteoni racing teams have announced a collaborative agreement for the 2007 season, which sees them joining forces to support each other's efforts in 125cc and 250cc respectively. The deal also allows Anthony West to ride a semi-official Aprilia and show what he can do in the quatre litre class.

Angaia racing's plans had previously involved Czech standout Jakub Smrz and Italian Luca Morelli in 250cc, but now they have shifted their focus to 125cc, putting last year's rider Lorenzo Zanetti on a development Aprilia kit bike.

Matteoni racing bring back Anthony West for a ride on the RSW LE, hoping to push him higher than his regular top ten finishes in 2006 on a kit bike. He will ride alongside young frenchman Jules Cluzel, who has a year's worth of experience under his belt in 250cc and will have a kit Aprilia at his disposal.

Paolo Tajana and Massimo Matteoni's teams will run as seperate outfits, although with close collaboration throughout the season."


Yay Westy!

I wonder what that means for Smrz though? I rated him fairly highly and its a shame if he's left without a ride.. Anywho, did I say Yay Westy?

Well he certainly lacks no confidence, does he?

Good luck to West. Here's hoping it's finally his year.
