Cal Crutchlow seized on a blunder by new world champion Marc Marquez at Australia's Phillip Island yesterday to win only his second MotoGP.
The Briton, who was competing in his 103rd MotoGP, capitalised when Marquez made a mistake and crashed out on lap 10 while holding a big lead. Crutchlow maintained a solid race pace on his LCR Honda to beat Italian great Valentino Rossi on his Movistar Yamaha by 4.218secs, with Maverick Vinales third on a Suzuki Ecstar. Crutchlow, who turns 31 next week, became the first British winner of the Australian MotoGP.
