When you evolve in the bosom of Honda where Marc Márquez is the dominant species, it seems that you have difficulty existing. The results of the man who now has 50 MotoGP victories are such that living in the shadows is inevitable. But we still have to show that we are there, and Cal Crutchlow has found a way not to sink into oblivion: speaking, with his privileged subject, two of his companions from the Honda clan: Nakagami and Bradl. The latter, however, replied…
Cal Crutchlow must exist at Honda in the face of Marc Márquez but also since Jorge Lorenzo joined the ranks of HRC. The latter is still far from the Englishman in terms of raw results on the RC213V, but he is better considered in view of his CV. The two Repsol Honda drivers are therefore untouchable. However, this is not the case for his teammate at LCR Takaaki Nakagami. So much so that when he wants to walk on his flowerbeds, he is immediately caught. We remember the Englishman's assessment of the Japanese's merits in benefiting from the same Honda as him...
We must therefore defend our territory and for that, the preventive attack is also relevant. For several Grands Prix, the test driver Stefan bradl replaces a Lorenzo convalescent. So, you never know, you have to throw a dig at him. Cal Crutchlow thus blurted out that Stefan bradl was a good test rider, but not fast enough to land a full-time MotoGP contract.
He who had asked for nothing heard of this judgment. And he replied thus: “ I know Cal. I replaced him at LCR last year and I'm happy that he recovered well from his leg injury » begins the German elegantly. “ We all know Cal. He comments on everything and if you want a comment on this topic you have to ask HRC » continues Bradl. " I'm not here to become a regular pilot again, I'm doing my job as a test pilot, I don't know why he's talking about this, but it doesn't make any sense to me ».
Bradl finished : " He talks too much. I think it's often not even productive or meaningful for him. I don't really care about this statement. I work mainly with Marc. My relationship with him couldn't be bettere ”.
Bradl et Crutchlow will have the opportunity to meet this weekend on the Red Bull Ring for the Austrian Grand Prix since the German will once again replace Jorge Lorenzo on the official Honda.
