EDWARDS PREPARES FOR MONZA

Castrol Honda’s Colin Edwards will arrive at Monza, Italy next week in confident mood after a successful test at the Suzuka circuit in Japan last week.

Edwards, second in the World Superbike championship points standings, believes further improvements to his SP-2 machine will give him the best chance possible of challenging for the 2002 title.

“We had a great test,” said Edwards. “I managed to beat my best lap time at Suzuka by 0.7s so we know we’re heading in the right direction with development.

“With a test like that it’s all trial and error but we’re certainly making some big steps towards improving the handling and power of the SP-2.”

Edwards recorded a best lap of 2:06.5 at the two-day test at the circuit where he took victory in last year’s prestigious Suzuka 8-hours race.
