Best time Friday, Cal Crutchlow This time he was content with an eighth time with a Honda which still gives him just as much satisfaction. The LCR driver did not go to tease the time and he will try to challenge the hourglass for the last day which will take place tomorrow, Sunday. He therefore worked on the settings and other new features and formed an opinion… Which is a new, strong idea on the part of the Englishman!
The Briton gave back a little more than half a second to the Honda officials who monopolized the first two places in this second day of tests in Buriram. A gap that you should not worry about: “ our overall pace is really good. In my opinion, it is sufficient to consider the podium at the end of the race. Of course, I would have liked to be faster, but I didn't have the chance to fit fresh tires. I had a lot of things to test and compare. I rode with the harder tires and tomorrow I will fit the softer ones. We are going to try other rubbers including a tire that we had in Austria and which had caused us problems ».
« I repeat again that Honda did a good job. I was the fastest yesterday, Marc and Dani are in front this Saturday. It should be noted that these performances were done without the fairing with the ailerons. This was also the case in Malaysia, which makes me say that these fairings are a complete waste of money. We drive faster without them ».
Tomorrow will be the last day of MotoGP in Malaysia. It will be noted that Nakagami, the teammate of Crutchlow, finished fifteenth and best rookie.
