#35 Cal Crutchlow – 22nd (1’48.088) – Practice
“The truth is that it’s been an intense day, but I enjoy riding the bike. I’m just not as strong as I used to be when changing direction. I’m happy with what we’ve done today. I know everyone in the box, and that makes things easier. My goal is to help the team as much as possible, do our best, improve lap by lap, and enjoy the weekend together.”

“In the past, I’ve always loved this circuit and have great memories here. With a MotoGP bike, it’s more demanding, and it’s harder to put together a fast lap. I’m happy with today’s performance. We need to keep working like this and try to achieve the best possible result tomorrow and on Sunday.”

“I had a lot of fun today. We did our job, which was to ride the bike, complete the Sprint, and provide valuable feedback to the team. I struggled physically because this is a demanding track, and I’m not fully accustomed to the racing pace and intensity of the regular riders. In any case, we’ve been improving session after session, which was one of our goals as well. Let’s see what tomorrow brings.”

We’re working really well, and we need to keep going in this direction.”
