American MotoGP veteran Colin Edwards has been passed as "fit to ride" in Sunday's British Motorcycle GP a little more than a week after breaking his right collarbone.
The 37-year-old Yamaha Tech3 rider had a titanium plate and 13 screws inserted in his shoulder last Saturday after crashing in practice for the Spanish MotoGP in Barcelona.
That race was the first Edwards had missed in his MotoGP career since his debut in 2003, a run of 141 appearances, and the Texan said he was determined not to miss another.
'NOT GOING TO BE EASY'
"I was confident I would get through the medical and now I'm just looking forward to the weekend and being back on track," he said in a team statement.
"I know it's 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."
The former World Superbike champion is 13th in the championship after five races.
