The British MotoGP rider Cal Crutchlow is one of the premier class riders of this season, who had decided to part ways with his current team. According to Call it did not work out as he had originally planned it, so with mutual understanding Ducati and he decided to terminate the agreement. He also said that Ducati is pretty happy to have two fantastic riders, who will represent it in next season. On the other hand, he too got a good offer from LCR Honda so it was pretty straight forward for both the parties, said Crutchlow.
However, surprising thing was that Crutchlow had signed a two-year deal with Ducati in August 2013. And it took him just first nine rounds off 2014 MotoGP season to reach the decision that he would not be able to do well with Ducati. Nevertheless, Cal was not the first rider who decided to move away from Ducati. The experienced Movistar Yamaha MotoGP rider Valentino Rossi also made a similar move, when he realized that he would not be able to win with Ducati. But as compared to Crutchlow, Rossi parted its ways with the Italian team after serving his full two-year contract with Ducati.
At this point in time Cal is at number 14 in the overall standings of the riders with 36 points and his best finish during this season was at sixth place. In contrast to him, his partner Andrea Dovizioso was able to achieve lot better results. After 11 rounds Dovizioso had earned 118 points, reached the podium on two occasions and secured fifth place in the standings. So the question arises why did not things work out so well for Cal? When, his teammate was able to put up a better performance with the similar kind of machine.
One notion is that Cal was not willing to change his riding style for Ducati, which he had improved after spending three long years and inspiring from Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo style. In response to his theory, Cal had said he made an effort to change his style, but instead of getting better things got even worse. The rider from the Great Britain said that initially he was resolute that he would not change his riding style, but still he had to make a slight change.
However, this change still has not worked for him, so he is of the view that the style he was using earlier was producing better results than now. When, he is trying to change his riding style. He also said that Ducati is quite good when it comes to braking zone, but unfortunately that is not his strongest point. So he said that definitely he had to make a change, but the way he likes to have the breaks to be is simply unsuitable for the bike. He added that though he had made slight change in style but honestly it’s not making much of a difference.
