LCR Honda CASTROL rider Cal Crutchlow declared himself satisfied after the opening day of free practice for this weekend’s Czech Republic Grand Prix. Crutchlow posted the 11th fastest time during FP1, but then slipped back three spots in the afternoon session. However, the LCR man was still only around a second behind Honda factory colleague Dani Pedrosa who put up Friday’s quickest lap.
#35Cal Crutchlow (14th – 1’57.014)
“Overall, we’re in a sticky situation because the potential is not bad at all. We worked through the programme that I had set for the day, the end result was quite good and I was satisfied with what we did. Hopefully if we can continue the work we did today and progress tomorrow I’ll be happy. I have a good pace and a good rhythm and am satisfied with today”.
