Starting the race on twentieth place on the starting grid at the Indianápolis GP, Colin Edwards gets in the point for the fourth time this Seaton equaling his result at Laguna Seca.
In a race where the crashed and “pit in” have set the tone, the NGM Mobile Forward Racing Team was able to provide to Edwards a reliable bike that unfortunately was not fast enough to be back at the performance level from the begining of the Seaton.
Colin Edwards – 13th
“I thought I had a good start but I found a kind of bottle-necked up into turn two. There were just incidents here and there through the race, in the end a few guys crashed and after that I just tried to get into a rhythm, get into a pace. Then I saw someone in front of me and thought could hang on to him, but then Spies broke the engine and I saw a big smoke; I didn’t know what to do because I couldn’t really see and then once I passed the smoke just picked up the pace again. Ivan (Silva) was in front of me, he caught up with me when the smoke came out and I tried to stay with him but he didn’t make any mistakes.”
Giovanni Cuzari – CEO/ Team owner
“Colin and the team have worked very hard all weekend but unfortunately we were not able to reach our goal of best CRT here at Colin’s second home race. The team has made significant improvements and that will be useful in future races. We have our eyes set on next week’s race at Brno, where hopefully these improvements will make the difference.”
Sergio Verbena – Crew Chief
“It has been a complicated weekend up until yesterday’s qualifying session. We have tested things that Colin seems to like and during the race we were able to have a constan pace at same lap times than the ones done during the qualifying on Saturday. We go home with three points and even if the best CRTs are still far and we miss one second to be at their level. we will continue to work on closing the gap in the next races.”
