Cal Crutchlow missed the podium chance after crashed on the race today. On early, with this teammate Dovizioso, Crutchlow was fought for 3rd place against Valentino Rossi. Unfortunately he was crashed and down to 8th place at the end of the race.
Crutchlow said, "“I'm not happy to have crashed while I was fighting for the podium, but the consolation is that at least I was battling for the top three again. Being quickest in the warm-up this morning meant I was confident going into the race but I wasn't really aggressive at the start."
He continue, "It was a great battle with Andrea and Valentino though but I see med to miss out on a bit of speed on the straight compared to them. That meant I had to make up all my time in the corners. It was a shame I crashed because I was fighting with Valentino and he finished second. There was a chance of the podium today but at least I was there and I lost so much time after the crash that to still finish eighth is a bonus really. Now we go to Barcelona knowing it will be tough but I will looking to be battling for the podium again.”
