Red Bull Rookie Stafford recovering at home
English rider hurt at Gran Premio bwin.com Harry Stafford, badly concussed after crashing during the first Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup race of the season in Jerez, is resting at home in England and continues to make a good recovery.
“We got home Saturday afternoon and it’s good to be back,” said the 15 year-old who crashed on the sixth lap while battling for the lead in a close pack and was run over. He sustained a broken right collarbone and a bang to the head that knocked him out and though not deeply unconscious he was taken to hospital in Cadiz where he made slow but steady progress.
“I only remember bits of the race but I know I was enjoying it and not having any trouble running that pace, not trying too hard. I’ve watched the race and the crash on the website quite a few times and I can see that I was pretty comfortable where I was at the front. It was just a bit unlucky that the racing was so close that I got run over.”
“I’ve had a lot of cards, messages and stuff. That’s great and I am looking forward to going to Mugello to see everyone, it’s just a shame I can’t race,” added Stafford whose family had already planned a trip to the Italian round on 30th May together.
“I can’t ride for eight weeks I think but we’ll see Dr Costa in Mugello,” Stafford continued. “He told the Spanish doctors not to operate on my collarbone because it would heal on its own before I needed to go racing again. As my head is feeling better the collarbone is hurting more.”de España recuperating at home with his family.

Edwards singles out Le Mans for best chance of first victory
“If I’m going to win a race, it will be there,” says American star.
Three pole positions, four second places and six third places to his name leave Colin Edwards with just one more Grand Prix honour missing from his CV. Time is running out for the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider to take that elusive first win, and the ‘Texas Tornado’ has singled out the upcoming Grand Prix de France as his return to the Last Chance Saloon.
“Let’s go to Le Mans. I’m ready,” said Edwards, rubbing his hands with glee. “If I’m going to win a race, then it’s going to be there, as I’ve always gone good at the track. Now that the field has evened out with the tyres I’m really looking forward to the race,” he added, his voice picking up after reflecting on a disappointing round at Jerez.
“I’ve never liked this place. I had one good result here, and always spend the entire weekend setting up the bike. If we’d used this setting before then we would maybe have realised that it didn’t work either. We just had no rear grip and no real ‘push’ –something that we need to dip into the corners.”
Edwards will hope to have such problems revolved for Le Mans, where he gave the France-based Yamaha satellite squad a home podium in 2008.
