Colin Edwards: "Nothing I could have done to avoid Marco Simoncelli"

American Colin Edwards has insisted that there is nothing he could have done to avoid the crash which killed Marco Simoncelli.

Edwards, along with Valentino Rossi, was involved in a collision with 24-year-old Simoncelli in Malaysia a fortnight ago that resulted in the Italian losing his life.

Having taken time to consider the incident, 37-year-old Edwards believes that he could not have done anything differently.

"I have asked myself a thousand questions since the crash," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "What might have happened if I had reacted differently?

"Could I have done anything else? But I've watched the footage again and I know there is absolutely nothing I could have done to avoid Marco."

Edwards dislocated his shoulder in the collision.
