Anthony West remains disheartened by a disappointing opening round at Qatar - where he qualified 18th and last, then took just 16th position in the race - but is determined to bounce back at Jerez.
"I really wasn't happy with my performance at Qatar. Riding around at the back isn't why I'm here and I need to get it together," admitted the Kawasaki rider. "My confidence was shot when I crashed a couple of times and, after that, I never really found my pace.
"My main aim is essentially to raise my game. I need to have more faith in the bike and the set up, especially when it comes to turning it in to the corners. This is a weak spot for me, of sorts," explained the Australian. "Still, I'm really looking forward to the Jerez race. I really want to prove myself and I'm hoping this is where I can start doing that."
Practice sessions begin on Friday and continue, along with qualifying, on Saturday, with the race itself starting on Sunday afternoon at 2pm local time.
