Cal Crutchlow Currently living day by day, as he recovers from his bruised ankle. An injury whose seriousness he revealed and which has put his career on hold since the last Australian Grand Prix. He is therefore approaching this 2019 season in a special way. He hopes to be in the first tests of the year at Sepang. But despite his condition, he is passionate about the case Lorenzo who decided to take on the Honda challenge…
Through this challenge looms a merciless duel with the master of the place and even of MotoGP in recent years, i.e. Marc Márquez. How could things turn out for the Mallorcan? The one who will be the only Briton on the elite starting grid this year gives his opinion: “ It's complicated to make a prediction, because Jorge is a phenomenal racing driver. He is so talented, and his qualities are natural. On this point, he probably dominates everyone ».
He pursues : " To qualify it, I call it the metronome. Which means repetitive, regular ". An identification that it thus legitimizes on speedweek : " when he was on the Yamaha and I was at Tech3, I always paid attention to our respective gaps. I noticed that he could complete twenty laps in a row without his times varying even by a tenth of a second. When he lowers his visor, he becomes someone else ". He finishes : " Jorge is special. Very, very special ».
We will recall that the same Lorenzo will be withdrawn from the Sepang tests due to a scaphoid operated on after a fracture.
