Interesting to hear Edwards on the motoGP `doco' sunday night saying how he'd never ridden against anyone he thought was better than him - until he raced against Rossi. Seems an honest and genuinely top bloke.
My claim to fame is having a few beers with him and Slighty in the paddock bar at Brands Hatch foookin years ago after a WSB round. If you can get over his yank accent he's a cool dude, part of the night was spent taking the piss out of his accent. He's put a bit of weight on since then and got alot bloody faster!! Enjoyed the doco......wonder when I get the GSXer?
Colin does sound like a genuinely good bloke. He is seldom politically correct, funny as hell, and he and Rossi are the two characters of MotoGP. I think they bounced off each other when with Fiat Yamaha, altho' says he was not really able to help Rossi with tyres/settings as Vale rides such a different set up than anyone else (which is why he has needed time with Bridgestone to figure out what works).
Colin won his WSB titles honestly, having to beat the likes of Foggy, Slight and Bayliss.
Cheers

BTW what's wrong with is 'American accent'? He'd be a bit pissed off, he's from Texas![]()
