Cal Crutchlow’s Italian Grand Prix comeback ended in the pits at the halfway stage. LCR Honda confirmed that a muscle tear near Crutchlow’s left scapula was discovered on race morning. He knew the full 23-lap distance would be demanding but tried his best before being forced to retire mid-race. Crutchlow had not raced in a grand prix since 2023 and was standing in for the injured Johann Zarco at LCR Honda. He gave everything he had. The body said no.
