The Englishman is indeed collecting injuries in a year where he has to demonstrate his talent even more than usual to potential employers who would take into consideration his end of lease with Honda. A broken scaphoid, compartment syndrome and post-operative complications have marked his career, and now, with three Grands Prix to go, it is now the ligaments in a shoulder that are causing him pain...

Medical consultations later showed that he had in fact suffered a ligament injury. It remains to be seen how much this will affect this weekend in Valencia… “ My shoulder was examined immediately after the race and what I said was confirmed "Says Crutchlow. “ There's definitely something torn in my shoulder. Unfortunately, it's a ligament injury ».
A word about Aprilia and Iannone
« I won't see the effects of this damage until I ride the bike. Doctors can see the injury on scans. After the season we will evaluate the situation. We'll have to wait, but it was painful two weeks ago » certifies the team member Nakagami.
« It wasn't so bad last week. It was very cold at home the last two days. As a result, I rested my shoulder a little. My normal week looks like this: I'm with my daughters, riding my bike, and visiting the hospital. Why should I change anything about this? » adds the one who also spoke about an option Aprilia for 2021.
« This is a difficult question to answer. It also doesn't make sense to talk about it until you know what will happen to Andrea Iannone. " finished Cal Crutchlow.
