Is Cal Crutchlow staying at Ducati? He spoke about his future in Catalunya today

Cal on future

“My career is now and you don’t look past the next race as a motorcycle racer, let alone a year down the road. I need to get results now and clearly the results are not there and we need to improve the bike as soon as possible. I’m not saying anything different to the other riders. I feel more hindrance as such because of what I was on last year. The other riders think the situation is a little better than last year.”



Your option for 2015

“The position for me doesn’t change. When I joined Ducati it was because I wanted to make history in Ducati and I wanted to make a career of being at the front and challenging but the situation at the moment is the bike is not competitive enough to do this. Over the years I believe I have made great decisions with what I have done for my career. It is not neccesarily down to me. It is down to the information I get and sometimes you have to take a gamble. I’ve taken a gamble in everything I’ve done in moving from BSB to World Supersport and moving from World Superbikes immediately to MotoGP. I’ve taken some risks and they have worked out. I believe Ducati will find a way, but when I don’t know. You have to look at 2016 as well when the tyres will change to Michelin. I believe I am in a strong position, though definitely not on the track because I am 15th. The situation has improved from last year (for Ducati) but not for me because my career was definitely going up and at the moment it is not still going up. I will make a decision as and when.”
