Crutchlow admits he questioned his MotoGP return at Aragon after the first-lap chaos. 'Honestly, halfway round the first lap I'm thinking 'why have I come back to this?''
"I think I rode a good race," Crutchlow added."To be 19 laps in and do a 1m48s - my best lap of the race last year was a 1m49.0s after five laps. So, I had a consistent race.
'I tried to battle a little bit, it wasn't really that possible. But I was happy with the way it went. "It's funny how you get back into a racing mentality. I can easily cruise around at the back, do my job, say 'I've done my job, you've got some testing data'. "And they'd be happy. But when I see people in front of me, I'm like 'OK, you've got to go, I've got to try and pass people'."I think it could have been a bit better if I was able to fight a bit in the first laps but we were lost, we'd lost the [front] group."I believe I could have done a lot faster laptime, but they were honestly smashing each other off the track.
"The good thing was I didn't go over my limit. Rins came past and I could have tried to pass him, but I thought that was over my limit."
