Alpinestars Supertech R Limited Edition Crutchlow Boot

SILVERSTONE, UNITED KINGDOM – The British MotoGP race weekend at the historic Silverstone circuit holds fond memories for Cal Crutchlow, the hard charging Briton enjoyed a sensational second-place MotoGP finish in 2016. Cal is one of the fastest and most determined riders on the grid and secured his place in British racing history when he gave a wet riding masterclass to take victory at the 2016 Czech Republic round, thus becoming the first Briton to win a premier class race since in 1981. Cal has cemented his credentials with further wins at Phillip Island and Argentina, and has enjoyed 18 podiums, four poles and four fastest laps in his nine-year MotoGP career, as well as three WSBK wins, five WSS wins and the 2006 British Supersport title.
