MotoGp rider Colin Edwards has a total of three pole positions, four second places and six third places to his name
which leave Edwards with just one more Grand Prix honour missing from his impressive CV. It may seem like time is running
out for the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider to take that elusive first win, and the ‘Texas Tornado’ has singled out
the upcoming Grand Prix de France as his return to the Last Chance Saloon.
Colin Edwards has this to say “Let’s
go to Le Mans. I’m ready,” said Edwards, rubbing his hands with glee. “If I’m going to win a race,
then it’s going to be there, as I’ve always gone good at the track. Now that the field has evened out with the
tyres I’m really looking forward to the race,” he added, his voice cheering up after reflecting on a disappointing
round at Jerez.
“I’ve never liked this place. I had one good result here, and always spend the entire
weekend setting up the bike. If we’d used this setting before then we would maybe have realised that it didn’t
work either. We just had no rear grip and no real ‘push’ something that we need to dip into the corners.”
he also said.
Colin Edwards will hope that all issues ands drams have been resolved before he stakes his claim
for victory at the French Grand Pri at Le Mans , a race in which he provided the France based Yamaha satellite squad a home
podium in 2008.
