The first day of practice for the German Grand Prix at #Sachsenring saw two practice sessions in completely different conditions, making it a challenging Friday for the LCR Honda MotoGP Team and their rivals. Cal Crutchlow looked set to book his spot in the top ten in the dry, as he rounded the twisting venue for the final time in the morning. However, a big crash for fellow Brit Scott Redding forced Cal to sit up, meaning he …ended play in 13th place. Crutchlow was quick later on in the rain, ending the 55-minute second practice in sixth place.
#35 Cal Crutchlow– 13th (1’22.240)
“Today I’m very disappointed to be 13th overall, through no fault of my own. I was on a fantastic lap that would have put me in the top three, and then Scott Redding unfortunately crashed in front of me. We have to make a plan, and I feel really good in both the wet and the dry. Hopefully tomorrow morning we get a dry session so we don’t get forced into preliminary qualifying, although the forecast doesn’t look great sadly. Otherwise, we’ll have to go into Q1, but let’s hope we get our other chance to avoid it first.”
