Colin Edwards will not be racing next during the final MotoGP race of the season at Valencia, but Josh Hayes will. The two-time AMA Superbike champion will be filling in for Edwards during the Valencia race.
Earlier this month Hayes was offered a chance to test the Yamaha Tech 3 teams motorcycle after the Valencia race.
Yamaha Tech 3 boss Herve Poncharal said:
"He's been offered the ride by Monster and Yamaha US to make a few laps, and it has been agreed by Yamaha."
But with Edwards out, Hayes' involvement with the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 team has been raised. Hayes, who has won the AMA Superbike championship the last two years, will get his shot next weekend to race in the MotoGP.
