"For me, this was the right opportunity," the former two-time World Superbike champion said.
"I have always had a close relationship with Yamaha, and every year we'd discuss me coming back. After everything that I experienced this year, it made sense for us to get back together. I mean, I'll be teamed with Rossi—who I am good friends with—and I'll be the first to get new equipment after he does."
"Insiders state that Rossi requested to Yamaha that Edwards be his team-mate for 2005."
"In speaking with Edwards it's clear that he's very dissatisfied with both where he sits in the Honda pecking order and his team's inability to cure the chassis woes he's suffered with this season."
"I'll be second in line at Yamaha, whereas now I'm like fifth or sixth. Nothing against Honda. They do things the way they do things, and it's been successful for them. It's just not in my best interests to stay. Rossi's Yamaha has been really strong this season and what he's done with it has made just about everybody sit up and take notice."
