TT LAP FOR SUPERBIKE STAR EDWARDS

Castrol Honda World Superbike rider Colin Edwards completed a closed roads lap of the Isle of Man TT course on Saturday after an invite from organisers to ride in the course car, between the Formula One and Sidecar TT races.

Edwards completed the lap, with driver David Mylchreest, in 26 minutes, at an average speed of 86 mph.

“It was fantastic,” beamed Edwards. “We managed 145 mph out of the car down Sulby Straight then we got held up by the other course car.”

Edwards continued: “David said he can get around in about 23 minutes on a good run but what we did was fast enough for me.”

World Superbike champion in 2000, Edwards is on the island as a guest of Honda, taking a break from the world championship which resumes at
Lausitzring, Germany next Sunday, June 9.
