What failed at Catalunya has succeeded at Silverstone: Colin Edwards turned up at the Silverstone medical center for a fitness check, and this time, was passed fit to race. The collarbone which he broke at Barcelona this time was sufficiently healed for the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha rider to race, the circuit doctors judged. Edwards does not expect to be competitive at Silverstone, but is hoping just to score some points for the team.
Edwards' return once again raises yet more question marks over the absence of Dani Pedrosa. The Spaniard is once again missing from the MotoGP paddock at Silverstone, and rumors surrounding his injury continue to circulate through the paddock, while spokespersons tell the media that Pedrosa will return as soon as he is happy with his fitness.
Below is the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha press release:
Colin Edwards declared fit for Silverstone
Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team rider Colin Edwards will participate in this weekend's British Grand Prix at the world famous Silverstone circuit having passed a medical assessment on his right shoulder today.
The 37-year-old missed last weekend's Gran Premi Aperol di Catalunya after breaking his right collarbone in a practice crash at the Montmelo circuit.
