After taking his fourth consecutive pole position, Crutchlow looked in commanding form for the race, but another average start gave the British rider work to do in the opening laps. Monza’s long straights always provide excellent slipstreaming and the plucky Arai rider took full advantage to initially take lead on lap five from previous round winner, Eugene Laverty, before getting in a race-long dice.
With two laps to go, Crutchlow put his head down and broke the chasing pack to storm to a memorable victory.
Cal Crutchlow, Yamaha World Supersport Team, (1st): “We came here looking to finish in the top five to be honest on a circuit I don’t know. We did a good job this weekend at Yamaha so thanks to everyone who put a lot of effort in. we were never as fast as we could have been but we worked hard. When I got the break in the race today I went for it, I was willing to do anything to win, you could see by some of the passes I was taking no prisoners! It’s all credit to the team who got me here so a great win for them!”
