But I don’t even race anymore so you won’t listen to me!“The guys at the front? It’s different because they don’t have 15 or 16 guys in front. “I spun off the start.“Nobody could see.

It was over the limit.””It wasn’t Yamaha’s day” Crutchlow saw teammate Fabio Quartararo finish 18th and lose ground in the title race.

I had the same feeling.“I pushed with the rear a lot and ripped the centre out of it.”
