Cal Crutchlow did a good job on the Aragon test yesterday. Even he was not in his best performance due to injury, but Crutchlow got a positive result. Crutchlow tested new engine, electronic, and parts. Overall, the performance is good. They also worked on chassis setup to give Crutchlow better on turning.
Crutchlow said, "Today was really important for me because I was unable to make a proper judgement on the new parts after the early crash in Catalunya. To be honest I'm happy to have completed the test and put a lot of laps in because after the big crash I am not in the best physical condition. My ribs are hurting and if I cough it is really painful, so leaving here with a positive test gives me good confidence to take to my home race in Silverstone."
Crutchlow continue, "We were worried the track might be a little dirty here but the grip level wasn't too bad and it meant we could get a lot of important data. I liked the new electronics and engine, so it was a positive day and I could have gone a bit faster but I made a couple of mistakes on one of my best laps at the end on new tyres."
"We spent a lot of time working on the set-up of the chassis today too because I'd like the bike to turn better. Yamaha is doing a great job though and the bike is working well at all tracks, so I am sure when I return for the race I will be challenging for a strong result"
