MotoGP Brno, Free Practice: Cal Crutchlow “I need to improve the bike in corners and the grip on the front”

Cal Crutchlow he ends the first day of free practice with the 6th fastest time, just 3 tenths behind Stefan Bradl. The Tech 3 rider climbed onto the podium for the first time here last year in MotoGP, in fact this is a track that he loves very much and where he also gained a lot of satisfaction in Superbike. Surely on Sunday he will be among the protagonists for the positions that count, although there are still a couple of things to fine-tune on his M1.

“This first day was not easy – Cal Crutchlow said – but the positive thing is that my pace is very consistent and the gaps between the top six are really small. My best lap isn't the best but I can lap 56 easily and that's encouraging. Of course we have to improve the bike, so I hope that tomorrow it won't rain so that we can make several changes that we need. I still can't turn as I want and I'm also having trouble with the grip on the front. Last year right here in Brno I got on the podium in MotoGP for the first time and it would be wonderful to repeat it on Sunday. It will be difficult but I want to give it my all to try"
