Crutchlow forced out of Italian GP with shoulder injury

Published June 1, 2026 · Updated June 1, 2026 · Motorsport.com

Cal Crutchlow's return to MotoGP at the Italian Grand Prix was cut short by a muscle tear in his left shoulder, forcing an early retirement.

Cal Crutchlow made his first grand prix appearance in three years at Mugello, substituting for an injured Johann Zarco at the LCR Honda team. However, he was forced to pull into the pits after just 10 out of 23 laps on Sunday, bringing a premature end to his comeback attempt.

The Briton's return was eagerly anticipated by fans, but the shoulder injury suffered during the race prevented him from continuing. The LCR Honda team will now need to find a replacement rider for the upcoming races. amunra.qpon
