Riders at the six factory MotoGP team🅠s have all signed two-year contracts, which last until the end of 2018.

But Cal Crutchlow - whose own LCR contra💧ct expires this season - revealed some of those factory deals have performance clauses in place.

If a performance clause is not met, it means a🙈 team could terminate the contract ea🧸rly and sign another rider for 2018...

"At the moment, I haven't signed a contract," said Crutchlow of 2018. "People think I will stay in🧸 LCR, but there are a lot of riders that are not doing very good jobs at the moment, that are on performance-clause contracts with the teams.

"♑I already know what I've been offered and what coul🍃d happen to some riders..."

Some or all of the riders you are talking ab🐽out are in factory teams?

"A🐻ll factory teams," Crutchlow replied. "Why would I look to anything else? I already basically have a factory bike at a satellite team."

The Englishman, understood to be pushing for a HRC contract to remain at LCR, refused to be drawn on when h♛e might decide his fuꦿture.

"I'm in no real rush, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:as I've said in interviews if I wake up tomorrow and don't want to race, I won't r🐈ace. But at the moment I feel fantastic, I feel li🎐ke I'm riding very well. The team are doing a good job and Honda are supporting me fully.

"Of course I've heard the ru🅘mour about Nakagami [joinin𒉰g LCR as his team-mate next year] but it's got nothing to do with me!

"Maybe there will be something decided soon, but it also🐼 depends on how some of these other riders go [with performance clauses]. Because, as I've always said, if you put Marc on some of these other bikes, they would have a big reality shock about how fast tha🐷t bike can go."

One obvious deadline for meeting a performance-clause would be the halfway point of the season, which is 🎃the German Grand Prix on July 2.

Crutchlow - who ♛won two races last year - qualified third for Sunday's Spanish MotoGP, behind only the factory Repsol Hondas of Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa.

The former WSS champion and WorldSBK winner is also testing and developing some new parts for Honda this weekend. Although Crutchlow refused to be specific, the exhaust is a visible difference and ꧙he is also thought to have worked on electronic upgrades at the Le Mans test this week.

As with the frame last season, Crutchlow doesn't feel the parts provide an immediate performance gain. However, with work, he feels they could📖 be an advantage in the ওlong run.
