Although he had demonstrated his pace by going sixth fastest in FP4, the Briton could not find the tyre selection he needed during a hectic qualifying session and ended down in fifth position, meaning he will start tomorrow\u2019s race from the fifth row of the grid.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Cal Crutchlow \u2013 15th<br \/>\n(1\u201940.114\u00a0\u2013 lap 8\u00a0of 8)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201c<em>The mistake was yesterday, I crashed in FP2 and had to go into Q1 and then didn\u2019t make it through to Q2. Obviously I\u2019m disappointed, it\u2019s a bad day. I was actually pleased with my lap at the end, it was just too wet. It\u2019s easy to say go out on slicks at the start of the session, but I felt I could go quicker with the medium rain tyres than with the slicks. I went out with a soft rear, thinking that if I then came in I could change to a medium and go faster, but then when I came in Valentino was on the slicks and putting red sectors everywhere, so I took the slick when I should have taken the medium and I would have been able to go fast. It was too late for slicks when I went back out and it was impossible to generate any heat. It\u2019s a bad day, I\u2019ve qualified 15<sup>th<\/sup>, but my race pace isn\u2019t 15<sup>th<\/sup> that\u2019s for sure. I\u2019m not too optimistic in these wet conditions, I would prefer a dry race and then I have the pace<\/em>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-5121 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-6.jpg'><img width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-6-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-5.jpg'><img width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-5-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-7.jpg'><img width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-7-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Le-Mans_Crutchlow_qualifying_frentubo-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-5116 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/qualifying_france-300x257.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"455\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/qualifying_france-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/qualifying_france.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-4131 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/sponsor_crutchlow_frentubo-300x156.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"386\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/sponsor_crutchlow_frentubo-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/sponsor_crutchlow_frentubo-768x400.png 768w, https:\/\/frentubo.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/sponsor_crutchlow_frentubo.png 793w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESS RELEASE: 18 May 2019 | Le Mans GP Qualifying Cal Crutchlow endured a day to forget at Le Mans as he qualified in 15th position for Sunday\u2019s French Grand Prix.
