I think the thing that most of the arm chair critics on this forum forget it that Colin brings something to MotoGP that is badly lacking and that character and class. Regardless of his record Colin is highly regarded in the paddock and his great personality draws huge crowds and mad respect from fans and his factory. Very few other riders can last 5yr in MotoGP, not score a single win but still have solid support.

The angry smurf pedrobot could take a lesson on character and team work from Colin.

Colin's going to have a great year, take his maiden win, exit Motogp and go back to AMA with a FULL factory ride for 09 and 10.

Funny how Rossi flames michelin, leaves and gets shafted by Bridgstone for theatening to have them thowen out by a single tyre rule, Now Michelin have throwen everthing behind there favourite son and tester Colin Tornado Texas, He will end up with exactly what he wants not what rossi wants, I think, if he beleives he has the tyre he wants he will push, and do better than ever, If this is the case i hope he stays around a bit longer.
As for no presure, new challenge...How was "dont beat Rossi" preasure????? there is more than meets the eye there.

I can;t decide how good Edwards is as a motogp rider. Maybe we'll find out this year. Rossi's made all his team-mates so far (Ukawa, Hayden, Checa, Edwards) look ordinary.

I was surpised that Edwards got those poles last season, that's pure speed, and was impressed by his ride in the wet at donington, but there was not much else to shout about.

Which riders would you say are better than Edwards and which are worse???

For a "worse rider" Hayden set a very fast lap in Sepang!!
Can you set a laptime like he did? For sure I can't, they all must have steel nerves and a lot of guts..

I like Edwards for his humor and he is a bloody fast rider, I saw him in Assen on that occaision and was impressed by the way he rode himself to the top, unfortunatly the Timmer corner stood in way.. I think that in the past he rode a lot against himself so if he is more relaxed who knows what results we can expect..

I like Edwards but I wish he would stop making those stupid shapes with his hands. He's an adult not a gangsta rappa! :p

Who will replace Colin at Tech-3 if he leaves?

Nicky Hayden if he has another bad year with Honda?
Or maybe someone from WSB?
Or someone else from MotoGP? (Biaggi/Bayliss/)

Thanks.

Colin may very well be tempted into signing another year at Tech 3 if 2008 goes well, he's having a ball ;-)
I will be sad to see him go, great character, allways good for some laughs!
