Cal Crutchlow will start the British Grand Prix from the third row of the grid, after setting the ninth fastest time during qualifying at Silverstone on Saturday. The LCR Honda Castrol man had gone straight through to the qualifying final after showing consistent pace during free practice at his home race, and was amongst the first to post a fast lap in the 15-minute shootout. On his second qualifying run, Crutchlow was pushing to take a spot on the front row at his home race, but unfortunately lost the front of his Honda RC213V at Stowe corner.
#35 Cal Crutchlow – 9th (1’59.243)
“I will try my best, that’s all I can do. The crash was completely my fault, but that’s what happens when you’re trying to go for pole. It was a bit of a rookie mistake. I braked too far into the corner, but I had nobody in front of me and a bit of a headwind and thought I could brake a bit deeper. When I braked I didn’t brake enough initially and just carried too much speed in. I tried to hold it instead of running off, so it’s just one of those things. Everyone is so fast in MotoGP at the moment and pushing so hard, I wanted desperately to be up at the front, and this is what can happen.”
