Edwards gunning for first win at home GP

Laguna Seca is one of the tracks that Colin Edwards pinpointed at the start of the season as having the potential of staging his first victory in the MotoGP class. The former World Superbike Champion has finished second on several occasions during his premier-class career, including the US Grand Prix in 2005, and is hoping to finally go one better and break his duck in front of his home fans.

"Germany turned into a really good weekend for us and I was very happy with the performance of my bike in the end - especially the tyres," reflects Edwards. "Fourth place at a track I don't like has given me a lot of confidence for Laguna Seca, a place I love, and it's good to go there on a roll. It's my home race and I've got lots of friends and family coming down to add to the support of a few fans, I hope!

"Last year I was pretty sick on race day and it wasn't a good experience but this time I'm feeling in great shape and I'm determined to go one step higher than in 2005. I know the track better than anyone and the fans always give me a real boost so I'll be giving it my all from Friday morning."
