Colin Edwards back on a Yamaha

Turns out we'll have (pretty much) just as many Americans in GP in 2014 as we did this year. Hopefully both Hayden and Edwards will be trading paint on their "customer" RCV and M1s respectively along with all the other customer and satellite bikes.


'Europress reported Wednesday that Forward Racing officials will announce during the season-ending Grand Prix of Valencia that American Colin Edwards II and Spaniard Aleix Espargaro will ride "customer" Yamaha prototypes for the team in the 2014 MotoGP season.

Edwards and Espargaro reportedly will use Yamaha engines of the same spec as those bolted this season into the Tech 3 Yamaha satellite bikes of Cal Crutchlow and Bradley Smith.'

That's great news for Colin. He really is one of the nicest riders in the paddock.

First met him at a World Superbike meet at Philip Island back in 2001 - he was a gentleman and had no problem posing for photos and having a chat.

I think he's so nice because his dad is an Australian, so that makes Colin half ours too :aus::rockon:
