Cal Crutchlow has revealed that Monster Yamaha Tech 3teeam-mate Colin Edwards, who broke his collarbone on Friday and had a﷽n operation on Saturday, wants to try and start's this afternoon's Catalan MoꦚtoGP.

Crutchlow wrote on his Twitter page @calcrutchlow: "C🅠an you believe 1 day after surgery on collarꦏbone, plated and pinned, Colin will start today's race! He wants 141 consecutive starts...Unreal"

Edwards has not missed a race since his 2003 MotoGP debut. It seems that, if he is allowed to start, Edwards will ride a lap then pu👍ll into the 💛pits.

Crutchlow has qualified sixth on the grid, which would be reduced to just 15 riders without Edwards and Dani Pedrosa (who broke his collarbone at Le Mans and definitely will n🥂ot start).
