Honda Racing Corporation are delighted to announce that Cal Crutchlow signed a contract extension. And we will see him remain an HRC rider until the end of 2020.
Crutchlow has been riding a Honda RC213V since 2015 in the LCR Honda MotoGP Team, taking three victories in the premier class so far. Tthe latest is at April’s Argentine GP. The Briton has had a contract with HRC since last year. And will continue to help with development of the RC213V MotoGP machine.
HRC and the LCR Honda MotoGP Team are very satisfied with Crutchlow’s performance and this is why both parties decided to extend their agreement.
Yoshishige Nomura, HRC President:
“We are happy to announce Cal’s contract extension. Last year we contracted with him for 2018 and 2019 as an HRC factory rider. This year he has again shown his strong talent and his performance deserves the status of factory rider. There is no better way to show him that than by making a new agreement with him. So we have decided to extend our contract.
We’ve got to know Cal very well since he arrived at Honda in 2015. By hard work and by getting many good results he has contributed a lot to Honda and the LCR Honda MotoGP Team and he always gives us very useful feedback for the evolution of the RC213V.”
