Crutchlow crashes out of MotoGP race

by isleofman.com 15th August 2011

RAMSEY resident Cal Crutchlow crashed out of the Czech Grand Prix at Brno yesterday (Sunday).

 

The Tech 3 Yamaha rider had qualified in 11th place for the race but his race ended when he crashed at the first corner on lap seven after he'd just passed Hector Barbera for 10th.

 

Cal said: "Nobody is more disappointed than me with what happened because another crash is the last thing I needed.

 

"I am currently having a difficult run of races but all I can do is get my head down, work hard with my crew and try and put things right in the future.

 

"At the moment I am struggling with grip in the front end and we seem to have been going round in circles a little bit to find a solution.

 

"I was off brake and accelerating at the first corner when I lost the front.

 

"I am sorry to my team and Yamaha but I am sure they realise that I am trying as hard as I can for a good result."

 

Cal has a test with the team today (Monday) and said: "We can dedicate all our time to trying to give me some confidence back in the front. I still believe in myself and I am determined to get a good result in Indianapolis (the next round)."
