The British rider will continue his work with the Iwata factory through this season and next

Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP™ have confirmed that Cal Crutchlow will remain as a Yamaha Test Rider in 2022 and 2023.

Crutchlow retired from full-time MotoGP™ competition at the end of 2020 but soon signed for Yamaha as a Test Rider in 2021, and went on to unexpectedly compete in four races – Styria, Austria, Britain and Aragon – as a replacement rider.

Currently in Sepang for the Shakedown and Official Tests, Crutchlow will continue his testing work with Yamaha until at least the end of 2023. As of yet, Yamaha haven’t suggested that we’ll see Crutchlow on track during a race weekend during this or next season.

Cal Crutchlow:

"I'm happy to be spending the next two years with the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP team as their Official Test Rider again. I think it makes sense for all parties involved to continue our good working relationship from last year. I will again put 100% into it."
