Cal Crutchlow made up his mind. After having clearly suggested that he was a potential candidate for a possible succession of Dani Pedrosa within the official Honda team, he lowered the flag of this demand upon discovering that it was ultimately Jorge Lorenzo who would inherit the position. Since then, he finally says he is happy with his fate. Who could be better too!
And what's more would be to have exactly the same RC213V as the factory drivers. On this level, he recalls on Tutomototoriweb: “ I am in a great team with great technical support. I am very happy with my team and with Honda. However, even though it is very close, my bike is not as fast as Dani Pedrosa's " .
There is therefore a taste of unfinished business felt by the Englishman, but it is not the bitter taste felt by the boss of Ducati Claudio Domenicali about a Lorenzo who has since given him back his piece. Because the LCR pilot immediately specifies: “ the fact remains that Marc Márquez would remain very competitive with my bike ».
The subject is the absence always noted on the motorcycle present in the box of Lucio Cecchinello of this carbon swingarm which the two Spaniards of the HRC can enjoy. After seven Grands Prix contested this season, Crutchlow has a victory in Argentina and two fourth places. He is sixth in the provisional general standings, just two points behind Petrucci, four of zarco, eight of Casa Particular in Viñales and nineteen of Red. He also sees Lorenzo coming back at him like a cannonball...
