Colin Edwards ke Yamaha untuk season 2005

Post by Crash »

Dari http://www.crash.net
Yamaha is pleased to announce that Colin Edwards will join Valentino Rossi in its MotoGP Factory Racing Team in 2005. Yamaha and Edwards have signed an agreement for a two-year programme in MotoGP.

The move is a return for Edwards to the manufacturer with whom he raced in the World Superbike World Championship from 1995 to 1997.

"We are delighted to announce the arrival of Colin to our Factory MotoGP Team," commented Lin Jarvis, Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing. "Colin started his international racing career with Yamaha in our Factory World Superbike Team from 1995 to 1997. Since then he has had a successful career in World Superbike and MotoGP. His return to Yamaha as a professional, experienced and successful racer will surely be an asset to our Factory Team, and we are expecting great things from him on the YZR-M1."

This announcement confirms that Yamaha will end its six-year collaboration with Carlos Checa.

"The arrival of Colin also marks the end of our working partnership with Carlos," stated Jarvis. "We would like to thank Carlos for his many years of dedicated contribution to Yamaha. Having worked closely together for six years since the start of the Yamaha Factory GP Team, it was felt by Carlos and Yamaha that the time had come for both of us to make a change and seek new challenges. We wish Carlos every success for the future."

Rider changes are also expected to be made at the Tech 3 Yamaha team, which currently fields Marco Melandri and Norick Abe, while Edwards' move means there is now a much coveted RC211V free for next season...
Gue jujur senang aja dia pindah dia udah naikin RC211V paling bapuk di MotoGP. Lha, wong suspensi depan di 5-6 seri pertama itu juga suspensi yang dia pake di World Superbikes. Bener2 bagus, kalo dia pindah, and I wish him all the best.

GO COLIN!

Gue sih pengennya Norick Abe pindah ke Honda RC211V, biar bisa dapat rangking yang lumayan.
Debut-nya Norick kan naik Honda privateer, tapi semenjak di kontrak oleh Yamaha malah jadi keteteran gitu.
Walaupun sekarang Yamaha no.1 oleh Valentino Rossi, tapi Norick Abe (di tim satelit-nya Yamaha) tidak akan mendapat oprekan mesin yang sama dgn Rossi.

F1 memang boring banget tuh!! Udah nggak layak ditonton lagi. Harusnya Schummy coba pake mobil2 lain seperti Honda, William dll....
