Cal Crutchlow enjoyed a satisfactory start at Silverstone circuit and just over 0.1s behind Dovizioso in eighth position on second practice. The Monster Yamaha Tech3 rider's though was unable to find a comfortable set-up to find overnight improvements.
Crutchlow said, "It hasn't been the best start to my home race and we have definitely got to make some big improvements. This morning in the wet it didn't feel too bad but I expected to be fast after fighting for the podium in the rain at Le Mans recently. But in the dry this afternoon I had a lot of problems and the bike was quite difficult to ride."
He added, "Conditions were tricky because the wind was really strong and making it difficult but it is going to be a long night checking the data and analysing where we can improve. I am not fast enough but we know we have room for improvement. I will come out fighting tomorrow and hope to put on a good show for the British fans braving the weather."
