Holy cow batman.... http://www.amasuperbike.com/2003-Jul/030725e.htm "As he braked from over 160mph (it's a slow track), fuel surged out of the filler and ignited. Colin did the only thing possible and jumped off."
"I can only say that I must learn the track in the best way and I am improving lap by lap. But today I discovered that the barbecue is a terrible thing if you are in the wrong side! At the beginning of the session when I was riding with the new chassis on I saw some drops in the visor: I immediately thought at the rain and then the water cooling of a bike in front of me. But I felt something cold on my neck and after a few seconds a big heat. That was FIRE! I was completely wrapped by the flames and I decided to jump off quickly. I felt really scared but I hope this was the only one of my life!" -Edwards commenting on his remarkable crash. (Someone needs to tell the Aprilia PR department to keep his original remarks, instead of translating them from English to Italian and then back again!)
