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 2022 s𒆙eason, finished 15th in Motegi.
He remarkably explained: “I got to the starting grid and had some alarm out of the last corner tha🎀t 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****ܫ** devices!
“I had no devices oꦕn, no laun🍬ch control, no nothing!
“I had a terrible start compared 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 w🌟as that I had to come from so far back.ꩲ What happens is - it takes you three laps to pass on a Yamaha. Then the next rider? Three laps to pass them.
“Everybody you pass is faster ♉than the one you pꦉassed before.
“If I hadn’t have f****** with no devices, I would’ve b🤪een [in the top eight or nine].
“I got away with people who w💙ere slower than me, that wasꦆ 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 Mot🅷oGP. It was Yamaha’s choice.
“I went to the grid with a brand new set of 340 discs which has never been d🌸one in the whole h🌠istory of MotoGP.
“Normally you bed them in on Friday. I bedd💧e🌜d them in on the warm-up lap.”
