Monster Yamaha's Cal Crutchlow expects to be able to drop a second off his laptimes when he gets on the soft-compound Bridgestone MotoGP tyres t Srtagon tomorrow but is disappointed with the loss of track time due to a power failure this afternoon.

The second free practice session had to be cancelled this afternoon after a power cut made it unsafe to run. Crutchlow will get more time in the third session tomorrow to try and make it into the top ten, which is his goal this weekend.

“I was really happy this morning because it was a good solid start and I really enjoyed riding the track. It was a pity I couldn't have lapped a little bit faster but I stayed on the soft front and rear tyres for the whole session. Most of the other guys used the harder tyres and when Colin changed he dropped his time by a second," said the former World Supersport Champion.

"I'm sure I could have done the same and then I'd be looking at being inside the top 10, which is always my goal. It is obviously disappointing not to have the second session because it hurts me more than the other guys. I need to be out there learning the track and you lose the momentum gained.

"I felt really confident at the end of this morning and was looking forward to this afternoon, but now I've got to build up my pace all over again. There's nothing I can do about what happened and I'm confident with more time on track I can climb further up the timesheets.”
