Having taken a brilliant first ever MotoGP™ win in the Czech Republic on Sunday, British rider Cal Crutchlow and his LCR Honda Team were in action again on Monday for a day of testing at the Automotodrom Brno.
Crutchlow was the first rider to take to the track once the pit-lane opened at 10am, although the session was initially red-flagged due to track conditions at turn 11. Once the area had been cleaned, the Grand Prix winner was back putting in laps until an extended finish time of 6.30pm.
The Briton eventually completed 63 laps, fulfilling vital testing work for both Michelin and Honda, and stopping the clock with a best time of 1’56.273s - leaving him fourth on the timesheets.
Cal Crutchlow: “We’ve had a positive test today and we were quite pleased with the lap times. We tested a couple of front tyres for Michelin and a few small items for Honda. We had to work late because the track wasn’t in an ideal condition this morning, but thanks to the team we worked hard all day and hopefully it’ll bring us some positives for Silverstone.”
