Cal Crutchlow will start the San Marino and Rimini Riviera Grand Prix from seventh place on the grid after a scorching qualifying session at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.
Riding his Castrol-branded RC213V, the LCR Honda rider has looked in good shape all weekend, and will hope for a decent start so that he can do battle with thetop guns of MotoGP once more.
The British rider comes into Sunday’s grand prix on the back of three podium finishes, including his glorious race win in the Czech Republic, and alongside his crew has focused lots of effort this weekend on long runs that should work for him come race-day. He will start as the top Independent Team rider on the grid, and will hope to repeat that in the 28-lap race at the very least.

Cal Crutchlow:
“First of all, I have to say well done to me LCR Honda Team for the good job they’ve done here, especially on race pace. We have to look forward to the race tomorrow, it’s going to be long and hot with the tyres being a bit of a gamble again. It was hot out there, but not too bad, and I’m actually disappointed not to be on the second row today. I felt we needed to be on the second row to get away with the front guys and be able to battle, but I’ll just have to see what we’ve got tomorrow. We know that it’s more difficult here than last week, we can see that from Marc (Marquez) and Dani (Pedrosa), but we still have some work to do overnight and then I’ll do the best job I can as always.”
