"Today was very difficult 🍒because of the injuries I suffered in yesterday's crash," Crutchlow said.

"My arm is still very swollen and there is a big haematoma on the ♌elbow. So to do 70 laps today, I’m not sure there are many others who would have been able to do that.

"My team worked really hard, as we all do, but ♐then it’s d♈own to me to tough it out and just get on with the job at hand. "

Crutchlow's priority was once again to help HRC understand the front-end problemꦡs that are hampering the 2020 RCV on corner entry.

The situation was so serious that Marc Marquez♕ was gi🌠ven one of Takaaki Nakagami's 2019-spec bikes to compare with on the final day.

The reigning champion later hailed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:a 'great step' after being 'compl🍃etely lost', adding that "Cal started to try some things we found and it looks like it was𝐆 better also for him."

Exactly what was found remains unclear, but judging by the bod𒅌ywork the latest aerodynamics are thought to have been one factor.

“Overall, we managed to get through a lot of things this evening, some 🃏positive and some negative," Crutchlow said. "We just need to keep working on those negatives by giving HRC all the feedback and information we’ve collected here, so that they can improve the bike for the first r⛎ace next week.”

Nakagami was eighth fastest oℱn last year's bike, just 0.090s behind the top Honda of Marc Marquez.
