Here’s a special item indeed: when Cal Crutchlow singed custom order prints for PHOTO.GP back in February, I asked him to sign a print of one of his greatest rides ever. At Silverstone in 2012, he fractured his ankle on Saturday morning and was in danger of missing his second home GP in a row. He’d even had a special edition helmet made, with the Union Jack beneath his trademark yellow flames.
Cal dodged the local medical examiners to try his luck in the morning warm-up session. You might remember this shot of him wincing as he mounted to bike. He felt he could ride in the race, and went on to start from the back of the grid. He moved through the pack and finished in an incredible sixth place, thrilling the British fans and impressing those of us who heard the backstory of his having done the thing with a broken ankle.
So here is one of my favorite shots from the weekend, which shows Cal coming through the final turn, intense eyes looking through the corner. This is a 24×16″ Giclée canvas print, mounted on Styrene, and signed by Cal as shown above.
