A second place finish in Japan – his third rostrum of the season – sees the Briton heading into the Australian GP in good form. But, according to Crutchlow, there are 10 riders who can challenge for the win: “I think this place is one of the favourite circuits for all of us riders, and that means there are ten people with a realistic chance of taking victory here this weekend, including ourselves. The only problem with that is that after winning the MotoGP World Championship in Japan, Marc Marquez has nothing to lose.”
