American rider Colin Edwards was presented with a brand new BMW Z4 M Roadster, after having achieved the fastest lap time during the one-hour qualifying round of the official MotoGP test. At the end of the 2006 season the MotoGP rider achieving fastest overall time in all qualifying rounds will receive a BMW Z4 M Coupe during the last heat on October 29.
Edwards, who had completed the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona in the fastest time of 1:57.102 minutes on wet tarmac, was pleased with the attractive prize, which was presented to him by Ulrich Mehring, head of sales and marketing at BMW M. “I believe that this is exactly the kind of motivation I need for this season”.
