Title: Re: Edwards hanging up the leathers at the end of the year :( Post by: triangleforge on April 10, 2014, 02:37:35 PM I'm sad to see him go, but the timing feels right.
Title: Re: Edwards hanging up the leathers at the end of the year :( Post by: thought on April 10, 2014, 06:31:25 PM I second that... it's a good time for him to retire.
I'd love to see him as the commentator for motogp/wsbk. Title: Re: Edwards hanging up the leathers at the end of the year :( Post by: HotIce on April 10, 2014, 06:44:00 PM I read an interview of him, in an Italian sports news site, where it is clear that he has been affected a lot by Simoncelli's death.
Things which you do not forget, and stay in your mind forever. His, and even worse VR's, which was Marco's close friend. Title: Re: Edwards hanging up the leathers at the end of the year :( Post by: koko64 on April 10, 2014, 06:53:05 PM CE would be a highly qualified, insightful and very, very entertaining commentator.
Always had a soft spot for him since he's half Aussie. They'd be crazy not to offer him a job. Half Aussie + half Texan = entertainment. ;D Title: Re: Edwards hanging up the leathers at the end of the year :( Post by: Speeddog on April 10, 2014, 10:13:22 PM He may be a bit too truthful for the job, at least as far as the official folks are concerned.
Personally, I think he'd be awesome. :) Title: Re: Edwards hanging up the leathers at the end of the year :( Post by: Ducatamount on April 11, 2014, 03:34:16 AM +1 on him probably being an awesome commentator :D
I read an article about his motorcycle training camp which was dirt track on little XR's. Looked like a blast. http://texastornadobootcamp.com/ (http://texastornadobootcamp.com/) Title: Re: Edwards hanging up the leathers at the end of the year :( Post by: Triple J on April 11, 2014, 08:10:07 AM Edwards as a commentator would be epic! Make sure there's a tape delay! [laugh]
I will atted his bootcamp at some point...looks way too fun! Title: Re: Edwards hanging up the leathers at the end of the year :( Post by: MadDuck on April 11, 2014, 08:30:48 AM Turn him loose on the TV audience along with Scott Russell! It's be a hoot!
