At Honda, there are four drivers, but there is especially one who crushes the others. And as he also dominates the championship, with such a particular style, the remaining three must deal with it and be patient to make their voices heard. A situation that Cal Crutchlow has often depicted. While swearing that cordial understanding is still required. Normal, for an Englishman...

That being said, the perfidious Albion also advances masked, and Cal Crutchlow likes to play with formulas and words to convey messages within the message... Thus on the new Honda chassis that Marc Márquez tried at Sachsenring. But that Cal Crutchlow wait to see…: “ I didn't have the chance to test the new chassis in Barcelona, ​​so I haven't tried it yet. The reason is simple: Jorge Lorenzo broke everything. Actually, we wanted to test it in Germany but it's not there. And as you can see, his replacement, Stefan Bradl, is not on the track with the new version, because there are none left ».

« Marc tests the new chassis and he has a replacement, which is just right » added the Briton. “ I think it also has advantages, because he has used it before. He knows he can handle the old version, maybe he just wants to convince the other guys that it's not better, although that might not be true. Or maybe it's better for the other guys than him. As we know he is a smart guy ».

Once he drops his bomb, Cal Crutchlow rushes to calm things down on Speedweek: “ we have a good working relationship and I think Márquez is a good guy. We also need to work together in certain areas if we want to improve, and we do that for the Honda riders as well. Even if we don't always agree and sometimes he finds something better than me. For us, between Honda drivers, there are no secrets, that's for sure, and we benefit from it in certain areas ».
