Op Crash.net staat dat Edwards precies het zelfde gedaan zou hebben en dat achter in het veld gedurende de hele race zulke acties plaats vinden.
Colin Edwards has declared that he would have attempted the same controversial last turn move that Gauloises Yamaha team-mate Valentino Rossi used to beat Sete Gibernau in last Sunday's season-opening Spanish Grand Prix – and that such moves often happen further down the MotoGP field anyway.
"Personally, if I was Valentino, I would have done exactly the same thing. You know, I'm a motocrosser, so that's fine with me - rubbin's racin'," replied Colin when asked for his opinion of the incident. "Some people may say that it was just over the line but, honestly, when we're racing we're aggressive anyway.
"We put some passes on one another back in the field - that some people don't even see - that are the same (as that) all race long. So last lap, last corner you can't expect anything less. I mean these guys are going for it; at that particular moment it's not 'hang my neck out and take a little risk' it's 'do or die'. That's the way you think at the last corner.
"So why not? I don't really see a problem with it."
Gibernau and Edwards were team-mates last season at Telefonica Movistar Honda
