LCR's Cal Crutchlow will race in Castrol Honda colours at this weekend's Malaysian MotoGP.

Crutchlow appeared in the Castrol branding during the post-race Brno test, but Sepang will be the first time he has used the livery at a grand prix.

Castrol Sponsorship Manager Donald Smith said: “Castrol are proud to be stepping up its support to the LCR Honda and Cal Crutchlow for the Malaysia round of the MotoGP series. Castrol have a long standing association with both MotoGP and Honda and this livery further continues to build our rich heritage.”

Crutchlow, who has used a GIVI livery since the Silverstone departure of CWM, starts the penultimate round of the series holding eighth in the world championship.

"I'm looking forward to racing in Malaysia this weekend. We had a decent test here at the start of the year, that was my first time really riding the Honda properly but obviously a lot has changed since then".

"I think we are now riding a lot better than at the start of the year when I still felt comfortable, but was still learning about the bike.

"Now we have to continue in the direction we're going in as I feel we have performed well in the last couple of races, but you can always do better and I'm hoping we can improve again this weekend."
 
But will he get Valentino's tyres? :D
I think that's what that "signal" was about. I wouldn't get to worried Gaz. Its gonna rain on Sunday anyway. So all this "struggling" is nothing of concern.

Did Jack tell you that?

I mean, as Jack said 'the ....... talks to someone upstairs' so if Jack is saying it will rain I may try to get on the odds now :D

From Crash.net twitter.

Nothing but more mind games.

One thing that amazes me, you look at those top speeds and think...316kph. What a slug...
316 ....... kph. On a bike as crappily streamlined as these. .... me ragged.
 
Talps, homie, brotha, What makes you think I'm not throughly enjoying myself? You should see the big shitgrin I have on right as I'm typing this buddy. This is gold. Yet another episode I can point to and throw egg in the face of boppers.

I ain't the one who just cried "hey guys, Marc isn't playing fair." Waaaaa waaaaaa

You didn't seem to enjoy yourself when Rossi was losing, particularly to Stoner. You know, the "whiner". Hahaha

You guys can't admit Rossi whines more than Casey ever did. You guys just call it "mind games". I call it being a WHINING BITCH. Hahaha. I love it.

Dude,

Seriously I think you need to find another sport to follow, because clearly you are really, really ...... up when it comes to Rossi, Dorna, Marc etc etc.
I think you would be much happier doing something else, because the odd time I come here now reading your .... is actually depressing and I feel sorry for you, go and play with your kids, enjoy the outdoors, maybe fishing?

Honestly I'm concerned for your well-being, someone shouldn't hate this much. Why do you watch the sport? Clearly anytime you see Rossi your blood must boil and its pretty hard to miss him whilst watching motogp.

This is just another dick around from VR, he's having a go and its created quite a storm. Jorge crapped on about bad luck costing him the title, Rossi is now having a go at Marc, its great! Drama buddy, lap it up and enjoy it-only I think you can't, time to lighten up bud and move on.

Nickys going to WSBK-maybe you might enjoy it over there a little more-forget Valentino Rossi-he's not worth it, they guy does not give the slightest flying .... about you or most of the others like us those who post dribble on forums and social media-as he said in the press conference today also.

Jumkie I think you broke humpty bumbty bopper Talpa. I'm concerned for his well being. How can we put the broken pieces back together again?

Because Rossi said so. Rossi didn't just throw this into the mix willie nillie, he showed up with lap charts and his personal annotations.

ROSSI McCarthyism.

a2c1264d706ec9261706daa71dbc5bbc.jpg

So after all there ARE conspiracy theories that you DON'T agree with Jum! That's news.:happy:

I am not even interested in discussing whether it is true or not -- might be, Iannone also said Marquez was just playing with them, even if he stopped short of saying it was intentional by MM to slow Rossi down.

BUT that's not the point. Even if that was the case, the remedy to any such intention would be very easy: just be faster than them! If Rossi can't be faster than at least some of the key riders, complaining about getting trapped in duels with them is a moot point.

Anyway Jums, I wonder, how will Dorna fix the title now? Show a blue flag to Marquez when he's dueing with Rossi? It will be interesting to see how them riggers will rig this. :)
 
Talpa, bro, come on man. Don't be mad homie. VR is still gonna win this thing. I'm just having a bit of fun. J4no, so you won't discuss the conspiracy but will discuss the conspiracy? How can I not have fun with it. You guys been calling me the conspiracy theorist, Rossi comes up with yet another epic conspiracy theory, but you guys call it a mastermind head game. Ok ok, let's just start calling my posts Mastermind Facts since we can call black white and white YELLOW.

(Anybody remember that mock interview Rossi set up with his dad to whine? Can't find link, I want to re-read it. I need a bit more material. JP, can u Google that for me?)
