MotoGP: Cal Crutchlow “Marquez will make life hard for Dani and Jorge next year”

Cal Crutchlow at MCN commented on the excellent performance of Marc Marquez, who was able to immediately go strong with the 1000cc Honda and finish one second behind Dani Pedrosa, a rider who has been racing in the premier class since 2006. Furthermore, it must also be considered that the new Moto2 champion had never raced on Bridgestone tyres, but despite this, as soon as he put on slicks he went fast, impressing everyone in the paddock.

“He is probably the best rider in the world currently – said Crutchlow – and even if I don't think he will fight for the title next year, he will certainly make life very difficult for Dani and Jorge. He reminds me a lot of Lorenzo in terms of speed, even if they are different. On his first lap he immediately did a high side, but after a while he was back on the bike as if nothing had happened. Of course I'm not saying he's unbeatable, but once he's at the top he'll be there for a long time."
