Only days after announcing an ongoing partnership agreement had been reached for 2015, Ducati has announced that their collaboration with Britain’s Cal Crutchlow is over.
Observers note that this is most likely the result of Crutchlow asking to be released after now being offered a Honda with an expanded LCR squad, effectively replacing Stefan Bradl.
Ducati released this short statement.
