Third row for Crutchlow in Valencia

Cal Crutchlow emerged unscathed from a nasty crash early on Saturday to secure a spot on the third row for the Valencia Grand Prix. The LCR Honda Castrol rider avoided serious injury after going down in FP3, but had already done enough to secure a place in Q2 and subsequently went on to claim ninth position on the grid for Sunday’s season finale at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo.

#35 Cal Crutchlow (9th – 1’30.726)

“I’m ok (after the crash), there’s nothing broken, just a few cuts to my left hand which we thought was broken. It was strange because I didn’t crash on my left hand side, I crashed on my right so I don’t really know where I hit my hand, but it seemed to have slapped the ground quite hard and it was painful. When I went back out it was really painful, but I had some treatment between FP3 and FP4 and then it wasn’t so bad. I’m happy enough because we’ve already started to test for next year with something on the bike. I think there’s some positives from it and some negatives. So we’re happy enough with what we’re doing and getting stuff ready for Honda.”
