Colin Edwards and the NGM Mobile Forward Racing Team leave Aragon with a bittersweet aftertaste after fighting in the points zone during the Aragon Grand Prix of Aragon at the Motorland circuit.
The choice of hard tires for the race seemed to be right one for Colin, who was able to reach the fifteenth position but an unfortunate break of the shift lever at the very end of the race changed the fate of an already complicated weekend.
Colin Edwards – 18th
“Right before we went out we decided to go with the hard tire, which we hadn’t used all weekend, we used it during the test. We didn’t know what was going to happen and as it turns out, using the hard tire in the front was the right choice. Got a good start, got out there and I can’t ask for more, I went faster than during qualifying. I rode hard and then right at the end I got Pirro and tried to put my head down but I couldn’t catch the guys in front of me. The shift lever broke and I decided to finish the last lap to see if we could get some points. Thanks to my team, we worked a lot this weekend, we just got bad luck.”
Sergio Verbena – Crew Chief
“This morning we found something interesting during the warm up. The bike improved and we have got in better lap times, a couple of tenths faster that during the qualifying session. Unfortunately a technical problem during the race kept Colin from getting into the points, all the work done during the weekend was fruitless.”
