Gutted for Quartararo. Podium g'teed and likely 2nd. Then gear lever locks or falls off...!! What is it with the fanboy of Hewen for Crutchlow?! Keeps saying how tough he is, how its hard to pass, how he doesn't give in...then Rossi breezes past and fucks off having spent laps trying to get past Miller.
Just shows how much pace he still has, IF he can qualify well. It seems every circuit, Yamaha are miles behind the rest and then 5 mins before they pack up on a Saturday night they make another magical breakthrough. They need to start doing their breakthrough on the Friday, so they can properly utilise it
Its not that, its the whole 'hard as nails, tough to pass' stuff. Dovi blew him away on every challenge. In fact, I can't remember a race where Crutclow won one of those last lap battles with anyone!
Iannone last corner overtake to get a podium also he did Rins to get a win a couple of laps before the flag, he has done pretty good for a super sport rider and to be honest he ain't no softie the amount of crashes he has had.
Thought it would be ok to put these here then start a new thread. Got back today photos taken on an iPhone so not great but squint and enlarge, might help Was a good day out, not much action until around 8 laps to go, yes the the locals cheered MM but they were more happy when they saw Rossi go past. Whats happening to Sam Lowes wish he could finish a race, The Ducati was parked up behind our stand and the Bultaco was outside a small bar in Cadiz.
