Castrol Honda's Colin Edwards left the
four-day Michelin tyre test session at Kyalami, South Africa in buoyant
mood after completing his schedule with further
track time on Saturday morning. Edwards completed 274 laps of the Johannesburg circuit in four days before heading off to Phillip Island in Australia for further testing next week. "Saturday morning's session was about me trying to complete race distance on potential rear race tyres," explained the Texan. "We found a really good rear tyre and I'm hoping the same rear tyre works well under the different temperature and conditions at Phillip Island. "I feel like wešre in good shape for the season although I still think I've got a bit more to come yet. I've not been on a machine for more than six weeks so I was beginning to ache by the end of the test and my hands are covered in blisters." Edwards concluded: "I managed to lap a little bit quicker than I did on Friday but at this stage we're more focused on getting a race set-up for the new SP-2 than breaking lap records everywhere." No lap times were available from Saturday's test session. |
