Cal Crutchlow after Japanese MotoGP: “I didn’t press the f****** devices!”
Crutchlow, who is replacing the retired 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Dovizioso for Yamaha for the final six races of the 202♎2 season, finished 15th in Motegi.
He remarkably explained: “I g🅺ot to the starting grid and had some alarm out of the last corner that the front tyre wasn’t in the 🦩right range. So I panicked!
“It’s so close from the last corner to the starting grid that I didn’t press🌊 the f****** devices!
“I had no de💙vices on, no launch ❀control, no nothing!
“I had a terrible start c🍎ompared to what I should have. I actually had a good start without the devices.
“But I lost places and I was already at the back. It took me a long time to pass the other guys. But when I did? I was as fast as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller.
“My problem was that I had to c🎃ome from so far back. What happ𝓰ens is - it takes you three laps to pass on a Yamaha. Then the next rider? Three laps to pass them.
“Everybody you pa🔯ss is faster than the one yo🤡u passed before.
“If I hadn’t have f****🍨** with no devices, I would’ve been [in the top eight or nine].
“I got away with people who w𒊎ere slower than me, that was my ✅problem.
“I’m not doing those massive divebombs.”
Crutchlow also revealed: “The🍌 other situation I had? I wasn’t allowed to use the 355 disc. And I’m one of the♎ hardest brakers in MotoGP. It was Yamaha’s choice.
“I went to the grid with a brand new set of 340 disc༒s which has never been done in the whole history of MotoGP.
“Normally you bed them in on Friday. I bedded them in on the warm�🐈�-up lap.”
The Thailand MotoGP is September 30-October 2.
