Looking ahead to the 2018 roads season with PRL Worthington Racing, next gen road racer West, who’s also set to tackle the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 Championship, for which he has title backing from Cycle Store, candidly stated following two recent tests in Spain:

“I’m really pleased to have retained my sponsors from last year. It’s great to have that level of commitment from them, and to have new guys coming on board as well is exciting and should give me the best chance possible this year.

After 2 very successful tests in Spain I’m feeling confident about the season ahead, lap times were consistently were they need to be, and after a lot of work in the off-season my fitness is better than it’s ever been.”
