Crutchlow powered his YZR-M1 machine to the fifth fastest time in a record-breaking qualifying session this afternoon. The British rider set his best lap 1.21.268 on the qualifying session, and will start from second row along with his teammate Andrea Dovizioso
Cal Crutchlow 5th 1.21.268 – 32 laps:
"We made a good improvement from yesterday even though I could only do eight laps this morning because of the conditions. I have been inside the top six all weekend and that is a huge step forward compared to last year when I had a really tough weekend and was riding around outside of the top 10. The Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team did a fantastic job last night to repair the bike I badly damaged in the crash in practice and hopefully a fifth place on the grid and a strong performance today repaid them. The second row is a good starting position and I've had decent pace all weekend, so I'm looking forward to the race. I've been consistent and fast on both the hard and the soft tyre so the final decision will depend a lot on air and track temperature tomorrow."
