I think the bombshell this weekend caught many of us on a different footing. Thinking that Cal crutchlow I'd wreck another season (yeah let's face it Ducati has been destroying the drivers' careers for years) with the Italian team, suddenly his separation from the Reparto Corse was announced and he joined the LCR with the Honda Factory that he uses this season Stefan bradl.
So far what we knew. And from here, speculation. With the interview he gave Lucio Cecchinello to MotoGP, both the details of this signing and the future plans of the Venetian's team are clarified a bit.
The LCR Honda For several years it has always been a private team in terms of sponsors since instead of having a main one for the entire season, several sponsors rotate depending on where the race is held and where the brands that wear the fairings want more visibility. his motorcycle.
However, for next year they have signed an agreement with an important company of English financial services, CWM. This agreement, closed last month, triggered knowing what Stefan Bradl was going to do since his contract ended this year.
The German asked more time to evaluate external offers and given the urgency demanded from CWM to have a pilot for next year, contacts with Cal crutchlow With which they quickly reached an agreement for the 2015 season with the option of a second based on their results.
Now and once the topic of the Factory motorcycle is closed, they will begin to create the project for a second motorcycle but in this case in configuration Open. As we all know, the name of Jack Miller It has been sounding strong for several months after the interest shown by Honda in taking over its services. In case of reaching an agreement, the LCR Open bike could be for the Australian since both this team and that of Fausto Gresini it sometimes functions as a school for talented drivers recruited by Honda scouts.
Little by little we know more details …
