Cal Crutchlow isn’t the proper individual to talk to for recommendation on adapting to the Yamaha YZR-M1 MotoGP bike, based on in-bound Pramac Yamaha rider Jack Miller.
Crutchlow, who retired from full-time MotoGP racing on the finish of the 2020 season, has been Yamaha’s official MotoGP check rider since 2021.
Miller, whose first season in MotoGP was as teammate to Crutchlow on the LCR Honda crew in 2015, stated that Crutchlow’s suggestions concerning the traits of the YZR-M1 is to not be fully trusted.
“Cal [Crutchlow] is a nasty individual to speak to as a result of if you already know Cal you already know the truth that he likes to exaggerate generally, whether or not it’s good or dangerous,” Miller stated following final weekend’s Solidarity Grand Prix of Barcelona.
“I’ve been touching base with Fabio [Quartararo] and Alex [Rins] and people boys, however after all Cal’s received a terrific expertise on the M1.
“You are taking what he says with a grain of salt. I feel it’s higher to ask Lucy [Crutchlow, Cal Crutchlow’s wife] what he thinks of the Yamaha, as a result of I feel she’s the one one he provides the complete reality to.”
Miller will make his return to Pramac on Tuesday (19 November), two days after the Italian crew’s 2024 rider Jorge Martin grew to become the primary ‘Impartial’ rider to win the World Championship within the four-stroke period of the premier class.
“Large congratulations to these guys,” Miller stated. “It’s a credit score to Paolo [Campinoti] and the entire crew there, for an unbiased crew to win the championship is unimaginable.
“It simply reveals the energy of the sector in 2024 in MotoGP.
“So, a large hats off to Jorge [Martin], he rode a implausible championship, and a large hats off to Pecco [Francesco Bagnaia] as effectively — 11 [race wins], that’s no small feat.
“I’m wanting ahead to 2025 already. Clearly, not wanting ahead to having these animals racing towards me, however hopefully we will attempt to problem these boys.”
