team in his place as "like replacing
gold with bronze" when answering
fans' questions on Twitter. Crutchlow
replied, "I fully respect him as a racer,
five-times world champion. He will tell
you a lot he's five-times world cham-
pion, but he's incredible as a racer
and he's very, very special on the bike.
But that doesn't mean he's a great
test rider. It's as simple as that. I think
you have to take some things he says
with a pinch of salt and get on, so I'm
sure it's affected him more than it's
affected me. What he said, I can take
it, but taking things with a pinch of salt
with what he says because it comes
from a guy that walks around telling
people things all the time. At the end
of the day, it's no skin off my back. I'm
happy, I'm happy that I have things to
do, I have a family, I have happiness,
I have friends. Obviously, he's just
bored at home."
Briefly...
Joan Mir's race
ended early with
damage following
a turn-two
collision having
started 20th.
