CRUTCHLOW IN GOOD SHAPE FOR SACHSENRING RACE

Cal Crutchlow secured a spot on the second row of the grid for Sunday’s German Grand Prix, the ninth round of this year’s #MotoGP World Championship. The LCR Honda CASTROL rider was on the pace throughout on a scorching Saturday at the Sachsenring and ultimately claimed sixth position in qualifying, just as he did at Assen last weekend.

#35 Cal Crutchlow (6th – 1’20.857)

“Yeah, I’m happy enough. I qualified there in Assen, sixth there and sixth here. I think that’s about our pace this weekend, it’s going to be a really long difficult race and obviously the heat today didn’t help anybody’s tyres, but overall we’re happy enough. I’ve no idea (about tyres for the race), I used the really used rear tyre in FP4 and it was horrendous, but that’s what it’s going to be like in the race. Marc (Marquez) has the pace compared to everybody else, we can see that, but we just don’t know how our rear tyre performed in that session because we used it from the morning. We’ll see, I believe that we have the pace to do a good job tomorrow, potentially fight for the podium or potentially fight for tenth. It’s always a good race here and a real battle.”
