MotoGP, Valencia Free Practice: Cal Crutchlow “The feeling with the bike is excellent”

Cal Crutchlow he ends the first day of free practice with the 4th time, just 2 tenths behind Marc Marquez and very close to the three Spaniards as usual in front of everyone. The Briton, who will test the Ducati for the first time on Monday, leaving the Tech3 team after 4 seasons full of satisfactions, wants to say goodbye to his team with a great result and is therefore very motivated. At the end of the day there was also a crash, but the feeling remains excellent.

“I'm happy with my start – said Cal Crutchlow – because this afternoon I improved a lot, it's a shame about the crash right at the end of the day, but in any case I feel strong for the weekend. I fell not because I didn't feel good on the bike but because I was pushing to lower the time and I entered the corner hard and lost the front. However, they are in the top four, close to the three Spaniards. My team did an excellent job in what will be a very tough weekend, because it is my last grand prix with them. I want to have a good race to greet the boys with a good result."
