What's behind Crutchlow's MotoGP rise?

After a 35-year wait for a premier-class winner, Britain has celebrated two grand prix motorcycle triumphs in 2016, thanks to Cal Crutchlow. Hard work and raw talent have combined to make his turnaround this year possible

I don't know a lot about Cal Crutchlow's culinary skills, but I'd hazard a guess that he'd cook you a steak just how you like it, or maybe poach vegetarians some eggs to a velvety-yolk perfection. (Sorry, vegans, I don't know what Crutchlow would make you.)

I say that based on the innate ability he shows time after time in MotoGP to make precisely the right calls, and judge tricky, scarcely scientific situations sublimely, with his second career victory at Phillip Island yet another example of that.
