Colin Edwards will not 💟be able to keep his perfect record of MotoGP race starts, since his 2003 debut, in♉tact after failing a medical.

The Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider broღke his collarbone in Frღiday practice at Catalunya, then underwent surgery on Saturday morning.

The Texan's plan was to start Sunday's race from the back of the grid, then do a lap before pulling into the pits, but he has unsurprisin🤪gly been declared not fit to race.

E༒dwards joked that maybe he doesn't have the right passport.

There will th🅠us be only 15 riders for this afternoon's main event, meaning anyone that finishes is🗹 guaranteed at least a point.

Edwards looks set to try a🧸nd ride at Sil🏅verstone next weekend, with Gresini's Hiroshi Aoyama tipped to get Dani Pedrosa's Repsol Honda.
