Two weeks ago Cal Crutchlow was staying with Ducati for the second year of his contract, but now he's announced he'll be moving to the LCR Honda squad in 2015.

Yes but he's made a bit of a muppet of him self saying to the press I'm staying at Ducati and moving on. There's more of a chance that the Honda will be competatvie next season and should be an easier bike to ride on the limits. However if he does not show some genius I think it's his last chance in a competatvie Moto gp ride.
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.

Sounds like he was only offered the ride after Aleix Espargaro turned it down.
