MotoGP Catalunya: Crutchlow optimistic ahead of 'difficult race'

Monster Yamaha's Cal Crutchlow hasn't ruled out taking his third MotoGP podium in succession at this weekend's Catalunya race weekend but says it will be a tough ask as the opposition has so much speed and experience.

The Isle of Man resident believes the Yamaha package should be strong at the Montmelo track as teamsters Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi have good records there, and he has a good base setting from which to work.

"To make it three on the bounce will be very difficult but I will be trying. It's good to be back at Barcelona, it's a good circuit but a difficult one as the guys are so fast here and there are so many that will want to win," said Crutchlow, speaking at the track.

"Last year was a tough race but we had a strong finish in fifth position. The Yamaha package works really well around here, we have seen that with Jorge over the years. We can be optimistic and start tomorrow with a good base setting."
