Crutchlow: "Casey Rode Brilliantly"

Cal Crutchlow Catalunya 2012

Cal Crutchlow didn't get a good resut on the Catalunya race. Crutchlow made a good qualifying and start from the front row. Unfortunately, the start was bad and he drop to fifth place behind Casey Stoner. Crutchlow was tailing Stoner along the race, but until the end of the race, the British rider could not beat Stoner.

“I'd have liked to have battled for the podium at the end and I think if I could have passed Casey I could have gone with Andrea. I was strong in some parts of the track and Casey in others, so each time I'd close up, he would be able to pull away and manage the gap. I couldn't do anything else to get by him but he's not the World Champion for nothing. He rode brilliantly and I've got to be happy to be so close to him on a track I've only raced on twice now."

"I struggled for a bit of rear grip at the end and that cost me a bit of time but I qualified on the front row and finished in the top five, so there are so many positives to take away from this weekend. Now I'm really looking forward to my home race at Silverstone where I hope to be battling for the podium again in front of my own fans.”
