There is no question here of creating the slightest controversy or reducing the merit of the friendly British pilot, but just of being as informative as possible.
During the post-qualifying press conference, a journalist asked the pole sitter the following question.
It looks like you're using a new chassis here. Are you going to use it in racing and how is it different?
Cal Crutchlow: “Yes, it’s true that I’m using a new chassis. Honda asked me to evaluate this chassis, so I did. We had it in qualifying. I don't know... the final decision regarding the race is not completely clear yet, but the feeling is good, it's a bit different. It's better in one way but worse in another, it's the same as everything. I'm just evaluating it for them and maybe we'll use it for the race tomorrow. »
Confirmation, therefore, but the LCR driver did not release the slightest technical information about this new chassis, unlike Valentino Rossi yesterday.
We will try to find out a little more from here Misano…
