Rumor: Colin Edwards to Ride a CRT with NGM Forward? - Asphalt & Rubber

http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/colin-edwards-crt-ngm-forward-motogp/

The CRT rumors continue to swell around Colin Edwards, as the American rider is now being linked to the Italian NGM Forward Racing team for the 2012 MotoGP racing season. Slated to make an announcement at Misano about his future, Edwards has made no secret to the fact that he’s

have been confirmed on twitter by Gavin Emmett. Correction it was Azi Farni:
I'll try to post the twitter update as soon as I find it.

RT @gemmett @texastornado5 confirmed to us yesterday "I will not be at Tech3, I will be in MotoGP" for 2012

Edit: Today's race showed that if no rider crashed Rossi on his Ducati is good only for 8th or 9th position or beyond #motogp #indy
Edit2: GP11 still better than GP11.1. Top Ducati : Hector Barbera

Correction it is RdP
Edit3: Interestingly weird: Rossi took a lap off strolling on the track, even tried entering the pits; back to the last position and gaining position back to where he was

Edit4: Congrats to Stoner. Very much possible that he will seal his championship in his home land, Philip Island.
Just a thought; worst race result, worst qualifiers result,eventually worst points table result. Just how many more "worsts" for the doctor to have his best on the ducati or else to say Ducati good bye

Damn it.I slept off at the Warm up and woke up after the finish!

What is up with JLo in last couple of Races?
Anyway...all i have to say about the Doctor is that..."you should have stayed at YAMAHA!"

**Braumabull** · 08-29-2011, 11:24 AM

Seemed like Rossi had the Crapiest Ducati

All Respect to Hector and Alvaro.Gud performance. Even Colin.

Gud to see Spies,kicking out Jorge off a podium.

Rossi had gud race pace. was lapping some .4 secs slower than than Ped.

Big disappointment for Hayden.
Whts up wid these bridgestones??

GP 11 were performing much better than GP 11.1 for sure.

P.S.:- someone said some aluminium chassis and stuff, was waiting eagerly to be surprised

Nice race tho,

Honest thoughts from Carlo Pernat for Casey:

Pernat: We apologize, Casey

I guess the link about Casey's cornering was supposed to be this one:

IMO no rocket science there. Feels to me that Casey's words "using the throttle to load the front" has caused more of thought provoking.

Edit: Some more reading. Looks like both riders' threshold is reaching in Ducati garage:
Soup :: Ducati: Up Is The Only Direction At Misano :: 08-30-2011

Soup :: Stoner Frames His MotoGP Career:: 08-30-2011

Edit3: Some more to read:

I just wonder whom is Toby Moody talking about in the article

OH! hold on his photo is right next to his words

I really like his style of writing...

Thanks for it, link edited now.

Ofcourse, its no rocket science. even if they had one, they wont be letting it out. But for us mortals, even this technique is yet to be mastered!

**TheRedPill** · 09-01-2011, 01:27 PM

My point was made on Casey's words being misleading which lead author to write the article. As the article's author mentioned; for me too it didn't make any sense when I read the article. Started reading expecting something new and unique to learn. But after reading about his crew chief's explanation I was left with a sense that that's not something totally new that we didn't know. I mean how else would you expect to heat up the tyres while riding the bike with new cold tyres apart from setting up the bike, going fast in a corner and brake hard to put extra pressure on the front tyre.
Casey has been known to reveal a lot of things about racing which nobody else used to do previously. But this time I feel he (or the author, David) glamorized it by Casey's choice of words.
But anyways it was an interesting read.

So the speculations are solidfy-ing now:
MOTO RACING - MOTOGP: Edwards Moves 'Forward' From Tech3 To CRT
Now I just wish they could be come out with a competitive bike.

**prabhubravo** · 09-01-2011, 06:28 PM

for me the thing which is new is 'brake hard in the corner and use the throttle again while still braking to get the extra grip which makes front stic plus this puts an extra flex on the front and rear tires which generates heat faster'.. atleast i never did, never used the brake and throttle together..
