After 3 successful years of racing for french team Tech3, next season Cal Crutchlow will race for Italian manufacturer Ducati in MotoGP after signing a two-year deal. Crutchlow’s move means that he is the first Brit to be on a factory bike in MotoGP for over a decade which is no mean feat.
“The bike at the moment is obviously more difficult than the rest but I am looking forward to the challenge. I believe that they will turn it round and I am excited and if I look where I have come from and managed to get to in MotoGP in a relatively short space of time, there is no reason at all why I can’t be competitive.”
