Edwards to attempt to race at Catalunya today
Can you guys believe this?
Crutchlow: Edwards will try to start today's race! | MotoGP News | Jun 2011 | Crash.Net

Cal Crutchlow has revealed that Monster Yamaha Tech 3teeam-mate Colin Edwards, who broke his collarbone on Friday and had an operation on Saturday, wants to try and start's this afternoon's Catalan MotoGP.
Crutchlow wrote on his Twitter page @calcrutchlow: "Can you believe 1 day after surgery on collarbone, plated and pinned, Colin will start today's race! He wants 141 consecutive starts…Unreal"
Edwards has not missed a race since his 2003 MotoGP debut. It seems that, if he is allowed to start, Edwards will ride a lap then pull into the pits.
Crutchlow has qualified sixth on the grid, which would be reduced to just 15 riders without Edwards and Dani Pedrosa (who broke his collarbone at Le Mans and definitely will not start).

IMO if Edwards can swing those watermelon sized balls of his over the seat of the bike he should be allowed to start.
This makes the stuffy nose comments even more entertaining.

If he did start that would have been a big F U to Pedrosa who still lying low 2+ weeks after surgery

^lol yeah... Mr.Glass didn't even go to the race.
ps, there's no way race direction would have let Edwards start. Imagine the liability if something happened to him and the riders around him? It was a valiant attempt on CEII's part though.

Yeah, good call. I hope he can manage a podium one more time before he hangs it up or goes back to WSB for another year. He was so close in that rain out!!!!!

One of the last of the "Hardmen" in motorcycle racing. End of an era when he retires.
