Celebrating their 10th season in the MotoGP class this year, LCR Honda brings on a new title sponsor—CWM FX—a London- based online Forex trading firm. After a rough season in 2014 with the Factory Ducati team, Crutchlow looks to build on his late season momentum and challenge for the podium with his new team "I made the decision to move to the CWM LCR Honda Team when I sat down with Lucio and An- thony and I saw the passion that everybody in- volved had," Crutchlow said via a team release. "I knew I wanted to get back to the ways of challeng- ing for the podium on a regular basis, fighting to be the best satellite rider and then beating the fac- tory guys when we can. The passion and drive from the two companies of CWM and LCR will hopefully bring me back to the front. I had a good end to 2014, and I am confident that form will continue into 2015."
