Edwards given green light to race

2011 British MotoGP Grand Prix: Friday

Colin Edwards will be allowed to race at this weekend’s British Grand Prix after passing a medical test on Thursday. The Tech 3 rider was forced to sit out last weekend's race at the Circuit de Catalunya after breaking his collarbone in practice, but he has since made enough progress to warrant a place on Sunday’s grid.

"I was confident I would get through the medical and now I'm just looking forward to the weekend and being back on track with the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team," the American explained.

"The shoulder feels fantastic and I can't thank Dr. Xavier Mir and his staff enough because without them I wouldn't be in a position to even consider riding. I know it is not going to be an easy weekend because there are some fast changes of direction and hard braking at Silverstone, but I'm confident I can do a good job and bring home some points for the team."
