Edwards: Having fun - going fast.

Monday, 28th January 2008

"My motivation level is quite a bit higher than normal. I always feel like I'm motivated, but this year, with the new team, it's fun" - Colin Edwards.

If 2008 does mark the last season of Edwards' MotoGP career - during which he has ridden a factory Aprilia (2003), satellite Honda (2004), factory Yamaha (2005-2007) and now satellite Yamaha - then it might also turn out to be his best.

"I'm feeling really good about this year. My motivation level is quite a bit higher than normal," Colin revealed. "I always feel like I'm motivated, but this year, with the new team - and probably a little bit less pressure, not being in the factory team - it's fun. I'm just having fun. And when it's fun, it's motivating."

Edwards has taken two pole positions, eight podiums and a best championship position of fourth (2005) so far in MotoGP - but the nearest he has come to victory remains his dramatic last-turn showdown with Nicky Hayden at Assen 2006.
