“Now I will be the opposite [with my future] I want to continue because I want to prove myself that I have speed, and I can win,” Crutchlow said quoted by Autosport. “Maybe right now it’s not good, so I need to extend [my career].
“If I’m happy with what I’ve achieved and I have speed, then I’ll stop. If I don’t [have to speed], then maybe I should prove myself again that I can do it.”
“Well, I’m not going to retire this year, I still have another year. But I’m more looking for what they can bring next year than what we can do this year, to be honest,” added the 33-year-old British rider This year.
Crutchlow was able to recover after disappointing results at Buriram, when the 16th series was held at Motegi, Japan on 18-20 October.
