Cal Crutchlow?

  1. If you were Cal Crutchlow what would you do. Go for the factory or what?
     
  2. What? The Aprilia RSV4 Factory?:wink:
     
  3. You mean should he soldier on with Tech3 and make the best of the widening specs gap next year and hope for a good seat next time or end his career now on a Ducati.
     
  4. Dont think he should go to Ducati. He needs to be up there with the front runners, as far as us Brits are concerned anyway, just to keep it interesting.
     
  5. Don't think he has much choice
     
  6. Yeah, not a lot of places left now.
     
  7. I would like to see him on Ducati cos I wanna do the 1st crutchlow race rep
     
  8. I'd stick if I was him. Or rather if I had the choice
     
  9. Crutchlow could will be back in WSBK next year if he doesn't get the Ducati seat.
     
  10. If he's offered I think he should take the factory ride, we need a Brit on a factory machine to cheer next season. I'm sure he would be brilliant in WSB but it would be a backward step IMHO.
     
  11. He wont have any other choice.
     
  12. How easy is it to make a 46 look like a 35 on my Ducati T-shirt? If it isn't I'm sure it with make a great duster!
     
  13. If Ducati give Scott Redding a go and he keeps no45 it`ll be an easy change.
     
  14. Bugger it, I've just cleaned my chain!
     
  15. Oh hang on I've found a bit of left over Vanish.
     
  16. Redding/Iannone Junior Teamn and Cal/Hayden Factory Team
     
  17. I think this is more likely not sure it'll happen next year though Abraham hasn't really done anything this year but he has been out for a few rounds, Barbera apart from one front row start and following everyone else isn't going to develop the bike any either
     
  18. What about Bradl to Ducati? A German rider for the German (Audi) owners?
     
  19. If I were Ducati, I'd be looking for a British or Aussie rider, that's where their success has come from (mainly)

    Hailwood
    Read
    Smart
    Rutter (Tony)
    Foggy
    Hodgson
    Corser
    Bayliss
    Stoner

    I think Cal's the man for the job
     
  20. I hope it works out for Cal wherever he lands, but I do fear if it is with Ducati he'd be better off racing a rocking horse.

    I do think he has to go and try it tho...if he's still in the frame for it, as for although he has done well with Tech3 there's no real path for him to progress along with Yamaha now closing the door with two two year deals.
