MotoGP Valencia: Crutchlow brands Bradl a ‘f***ing idiot’

Britain’s Cal Crutchlow has branded Stefan Bradl a ‘fucking idiot’ after he said he was held up by three riders, including the Aprilia man, on his first run in qualifying one today.

The LCR Honda rider claims it cost him time and he now starts tomorrow’s Valencia MotoGP race from 11th on the grid after a crash at turn ten later in the short session resulted in a crash.

“Three of them, especially the German. It’s a good job he’s leaving, fucking idiot! When someone’s doing 200km/h and you look behind you and you’re doing 60km/h and sat on the racing line, it’s the same old thing,” said a furious Crutchlow.

“If he wants his back wrecked and slammed into turn two, then if he carries on doing that he’ll do it all the time. He said it wasn’t him, but he was waiting on the line, every lap.

“It’s typical him. It’s typical of all them that can’t do the pace, they sit around and wait to get a laptime from somebody else.”

Bradl countered, saying: “I am absolutely not aware of any guilt. I do not understand why he is upset, I neither stopped nor hindered him. I cannot understand his accusations in any way.

“I moved to the inside and gave him enough room, but after he passed me he began fooling around. Perhaps he was nervous because he had not qualified for Q2 at that stage. Sure, I was not on a fast lap because I was riding slow in the first two laps.”
