Cal Crutchlow has five Grands Prix left to save his MotoGP season and leave Honda on a positive note. An opportunity that was seized Danilo Petrucci at Le Mans who will therefore be able, with this victory, to empty his Ducati box with his head held high. The Englishman's situation is the worst ever in his career and at a time when he could do with showing that he is still dashing. Because he needs handlebars for 2021. His RC213V makes his task even less easy as his physical condition is not in the best condition. So, when skeptics wonder if his career is behind him, he responds sharply…
Cal Crutchlow is not in the habit of bothering with embellishments when it comes to expressing himself on a subject. So, when the latter concerns him directly, he is even more frank. A loud and clear tone which also comes from a rider who is weakened because he is physically injured and who cannot show what he would like to convince that he still has his place in MotoGP.
So, when we told him that some people doubted that he could still play a role, the response burst out… “ Do you think I care what other people think? I laugh at the skeptics » snaps the Englishman AS : " That's what I did 12 years ago. Yes, I still have some motivation to prove some people wrong. But it's not about telling them to fuck off ».
The stupidities exchanged at the security commission
He then explains where he is going with this: “ it's about me testing myself and proving a point to myself. There is no problem with speed, no problem with motivation, no problem with wanting to stay fast. Sometimes my arm and my body have prevented me from doing it, but I also believe that with time they will recover. So we will see ", said Cal Crutchlow.
Similarly, Crutchlow confirmed that he has stopped attending safety commission meetings due to the amount of stupid things some premier class pilots are commenting on: “ I no longer go to the safety commission because of the amount of nonsense some pilots talk about ". We won't do it again Crutchlow, And that's good !
