That was a wreck that just didn't quite happen ;) Heck of a save though.

benjammer · 03-29-2008, 03:49 PM

Wow. That was close. Could have gone either way, but I'm glad for him it was the good way.

I guess one can do anything when ya keep your wits about ya...

NorcalBoy · 03-29-2008, 05:26 PM

Very nicely done. $100.00 worth of elbow armor saves a MotoGP rider and bike....impressive because Colin made it look pretty easy. Yeah, I meant to do that......

Mr. Edwards seems to be having a pretty good weekend at Jerez.......

I heard his elbow is very sore, so you might want to leave him off your top 13 on team manager

I was thinking earlier that this little competition is going to lead to some pretty funny MotoGP run-up conversations.....hehe

. I'll leave him out of my top thirteen, how many weeks do you think he'll be out?

Let the games begin......

Nicky Hayden did that yesterday at Jerez.

BJ Sim · 03-31-2008, 10:11 AM

Very very impressive. And for his throttle hand to almost come off and still pull it out, makes it even more so.

VermillionX · 03-31-2008, 11:41 PM

That is awsome. Great saves on both riders. I guess it just shows the skill those guys have.

NeverlosT · 04-01-2008, 06:34 AM

Man. That is something. wowza. I am actually thinking about buying Television just to watch the speed channel and see some of these races. Or to get a tivo or something so I can record them since they are on at like 2 AM on a thursday night...

Those tires must have some rediculous stick to be able to re-grab if the bike is pushed back up ever so slightly.

Can anyone tell me when/where the next MotoGP even is?

The next race is 13 April in Portugal. Motogp.com has all the info you're looking for. SPEED channel usually broadcasts the races on Sundays.
