Team Telefónica MoviStar Honda and Colin Edwards have reached an agreement for the American rider to join the Team Gresini Racing squad next season. The arrival of Edwards strengthens the team’s potential for 2004, making it one of the top prospects in MotoGP.
The Texan, born in 1974 and winner of two World Superbike titles in 2000 and 2002, returns to Honda – the factory with which he won both his major honours – after a rookie season in the World Championship. Team Telefónica MoviStar is proud to have two riders of the standing of Sete Gibernau and Colin Edwards.
Telefónica MoviStar Honda Team Manager Fausto Gresini expressed his satisfaction at the signing: “I can say that I am at the head of a winning team – two riders like Sete and Colin are reason to have high hopes and expectations of top results. Looking forward to next season I think we have the potential to go for victories. I am a great admirer of Edwards – he is a rider who combines talent with determination.”
