eu it seems that Yamaha also has a big interest in him and wants to scoop him up for Herve Poncharal’s YamahaTech 3 team.
Father Helmut Bradl, who was also a former GP rider, was at Jerez and discussed the possibility with Yamaha’s head honcho Lin Jarvis who declared, “Bradl is a very interesting rider for us, and Germany is a very important market for Yamaha,” while Bradl said, “Tech 3 is one of the few teams interested in me making the step up to MotoGP, but it’s not something I want to think too much about at the moment.

”Jarvis certainly has an eye for young talent, he’s the one that brought Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies into Yamaha in these last year’s, but it could also mean that everyone’s favourite and extremely quotable rider Colin Edwards may be very close to hanging up his racing lid and follow his Texas Tornado Boot Camp full-time.
