Barely got off his bike, Cal Crutchlow, second in this German Grand Prix, could not hide his joy by confiding in the site's camera MotoGP.com while admitting that he missed his wife. Cal Crutchlow will be a father very soon…

Cal Crutchlow : “I was also fast in the dry. I told everyone I was 4th or 5th fastest, and that was correct. For those watching from home and not believing it. Thirteenth on the grid, I knew it was going to be a long race and I opted for the harder front tire. I don't think many others did it because, during the first laps, it was not dangerous but difficult to manage, especially with the Honda. But anyway, I was faster, like in Assen, but maybe keeping my head down for 30 laps was going to be long. I got back to the box too late. I didn't see my dashboard for a turn. I was following the guys in front of me and overtook them. I overtook Vale, I overtook Dovi who was leading, and I didn't think anyone could beat us, even if we didn't come back. So I took the gamble and… I probably shouldn't have gone back; even if I hadn't gone home, I would have finished in a good position. Thanks to my team, the GIVI LCR Team did a superb job this weekend. I'm disappointed my wife isn't here. I miss her. This is the second time in 7 or 9 years that she hasn't been here, so I'm disappointed she's not here, but she's home keeping our future baby warm, and he's coming Soon. »
