CRUTCHLOW TENTH AFTER DAY ONE IN TEXAS

Cal Crutchlow ended the first day of Grand Prix of the Americas in tenth place after two free practice sessions, with the LCR Honda rider improving his lap time by nearly one and a half seconds in the afternoon run.
The Briton riding the Rizoma branded RCV no. 35 is convinced that with some work on the information collected today he will be back to his fighting best when practice resumes on Saturday morning.
#35 Cal Crutchlow – 10th (2’05.393)
“Today was a difficult day, we never found the perfect setting with the bike, but we tried lots of things so maybe when we have a look at the data tonight we can find a combination that works. We also had some strange feelings from the tyres in certain areas of the track, but it’s the same for everybody and we have to work on this for tomorrow. I’m excited to be able to try some things then.”
“Electronically we need to make some small adjustments, but the Team worked very well. The two sessions were difficult because it was hard to judge the track conditions, but I am looking forward to tomorrow and being able to improve”.
