Crutchlow crowned king of the ring
Mon, 07 Sep 2009
Yamaha World Supersport CIA Insurance supported rider Cal Crutchlow was unstoppable today as he took an incredible fifth race win of the season at the Nurburgring circuit in Germany. Starting from pole, Crutchlow led the race from the off, laying down fast lap after fast lap, leaving the competition with nothing to do but fight amongst themselves. Such was his pace that midway through the race the British rider had almost a 10-second lead on his closest rival, a gap which increased to just over ten seconds by the chequered flag.
Crutchlow now heads to Imola in two weeks time with three races left on the calendar having extended his championship lead to 22 points over closest rival Eugene Laverty.
Cal Crutchlow, Yamaha World Supersport Team (1st)
"it was really good for me to come here to the Nurburgring, my team's home circuit and win and prove I've still got the pace after Brno. We beat the field very well there and came here and did the same thing. It's been a great weekend, the team have been brilliant and given me the bike to win on, I want to dedicate the win to my Aunt Rose."
Wilco Zeelenberg, Yamaha World Supersport Team Manager
"It was a brilliant result for Cal here today. His pace has been unbelievable all weekend. It was really good to see how he kept his rhythm when the rain came down as well. Obviously after Brno we were a little nervous watching the last few laps but it was a fantastic result, we look forward to him continuing to ride like this all the way to Portimao. It's been great to take the win here at our home race for the team, we're looking forward to getting to Imola and doing it again!"
