A Short Interview By Glenn LeSanto

Roadracingworld.com: Are you going to win the title this weekend, Colin?

Colin Edwards: “I’m ready, even if it rains I’ll take that, I’m confident it’s going to be the biggest turn-around of the century! We’ve got him (Troy Bayliss) well and truly mentally f–ked at the moment! Everything’s been coming together since Laguna Seca.”

RW: You’ve been publicly pretty upset about Honda signing Nicky Hayden for MotoGP recently, how do you feel about it now?

CE: “I’m over it man, I can’t be bothered with being upset any more, it’s a done deal and I don’t want to waste my energy on being upset by it anymore.”

RW: Can you confirm the Ducati deal yet?

CE: “I wish I could but I can’t. I hope I’ve got a job next year but right now I can’t even say it’s 90% certain. I don’t really know why it isn’t certain, but it’s not yet final.”
