From MCN today:
Colin Edwards has played down talk that he will lead development for Michelin if the French brand takes over from Bridgestone as official MotoGP tyre supplier in 2016.
Michelin submitted its formal proposal to secure the exclusive tyre deal during last weekend’s Le Mans round, and the French manufacturer is a red-hot favourite to secure a return to MotoGP for the first time since 2008.
It prompted speculation that veteran American Edwards, who will retire at the end of 2014, will clinch a testing contract.
