While he would really need a sparkling campaign to find a future in MotoGP, Cal Crutchlow is experiencing his worst campaign in ages this year. Everything conspired against the Englishman. A 213 RC2020V not at all in his hand, an injury to the scaphoid from the start, and the abandonment of Honda, which meant to him, from confinement, that his time was over at HRC. However, the LCR driver swears he is still motivated…
Seven points in five races is the meager record of Cal Crutchlow before the next deadline Misano which will begin on September 11. The scaphoid injury, operated on before the second race at Jerez, certainly influenced the results, but the 2020 Honda also plays its role. As if that wasn't enough, the Briton has already been dropped by HRC for next year and there aren't many opportunities for him to stay in MotoGP.
It may be possible to go to Aprilia, but before making a reality with the Noale factory, we will first have to understand what will happen to Andrea Iannone and then, if the opportunity arises, win the competition against Andrea Dovizioso who will leave Ducati at the end of this year.
A precariousness that would be better combatted if Crutchlow showed himself in his best light. But we are far from that… A blatant lack of results which owes nothing to the mentality of the pilot, and the latter wishes to emphasize this: “ If I didn't love what I do, I wouldn't still be here, I wouldn't want a motorcycle for next year. And I want one “, he declared on crash.net.
“I can guarantee that I am always fast”
« I can guarantee that I'm always fast " said Crutchlow. " My results have nothing to do with that, because at the moment I can't get a good feeling on the handlebars. Never before has something this bad happened to me ».
« Every time I get on the bike I think I can make a good change » specifies the teammate Nakagami, which is experiencing an opposite trend from the English this year… “ So my motivation is high, I am optimistic. After a session where you didn't get great results, you're disappointed, but disappointment is a good sign that you always want to do well ».
« I'm going to try to push the limit as far as possible he explained. " This year it is clear to me that I do not want to continue to fall because I am exceeding the limits of what I have. This is just wasting time for me and the team and the information is what we need ».
« We just have to figure it out and keep working hard. I am determined and motivated to do it “, he repeated, by way of conclusion.
