WSBK: Sunshine Blesses Race 1 at Miller Motorsports Park

After a rainy Saturday Superpole, the sun blessed the Miller Motorsports Park for World Superbike’s Race 1. Carlos Checa returned to the Utah track in dominant form, though problems early on in the weekend gave glimpses of last year’s mechanical snafus. With both the factory Yamahas and Liberty Ducatis looking very quick in Superpole and in the practice sessions, Checa’s dominance for this year remained to be seen, with the pre-race predictions being anyone’s guess. Having ...

What Would Colin Edwards Do?

As fast as Colin Edwards is on the track, the Texas Tornado may be even quicker behind a microphone.

We saw some of that last year in the Yamaha-produced ?Man-Cation? video with Edwards and his then-Tech 3 teammate Ben Spies, and Edwards can always be relied upon for a good quote at press conferences.

The producers of MotoGP?s official video podcast ?After the Flag? have taken notice of CEIII?s wit. Edwards and other Grand Prix racers regularly take part in a segment called ?Ask the Riders? where they answer questions from fans.  Edwards has proven to be so entertaining in these segments, he?s getting his own new segment on ?After the Flag?.

The new ?Dear Colin? segment has Edwards giving advice on problems submitted by fans with his usual quick wit. Want to know how to set up your suspension? Ask Colin. Your girlfriend left you? Ask Colin. Having a disagreement with James Toseland? ASK COLIN.

Catch Colin Edwards? on the After the Flag podcast on iTunes or send in your own personal problem to asktheriders@motogp.com and see what advice Colin will provide.
