Cal Crutchlow is beginning to carve out his own place on t🐼he front row of the MotoGP grids.

Tomorrow th🌞e Tech 3 Yamaha rider will join Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa at the h🌃ead of the grid after sealing third place in qualifying at Aragon.

Crutchlow led much of the one-🐎hour session before being overhauled by the factory duo, but the British a𒁏ce is more than satisfied with his efforts as he takes his place on the front row for a sixth time this season on the satellite M1.

The 26-year-old, whose best lap of 1m 49.576s was just 0.172s behind Lorenzo, said: "I think we did a very good jᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚob today to finish on the front row when this session was the fi🧔rst time we have been able to work on the settings in the dry.

"My main aim for the session was to get the bike set-up for the race and 🎃immediately out of the box I was fast and all through the session I was able to steadily improve my pace.

"I'm confident going into tomorrow's race because the bike feels good, despite th🧔e fact that we missed a lot of dry track time, so credit to my Yamaha Tech 3 crew because they did a fantastic job again," adde🦩d Crutchlow, who was 0.6s clear at the top with 15 minutes remaining.

The Coventry man is now determined to claim another rostrum 🐎finish after achieving the feat for the first time at Brno in the Czech Republic.

"I thought we'd be struggling more becaus🧔e Jorge, Dani and Ben all tested here for two days recently, so to be so close to them shows we've done a great job," he said.

"That is the third front row start on the bounce now but afte🅘r Misano I have gไot to finish the race tomorrow.

"Hopefully it will be in t🦩he top three because it would be great to get another podiu🔥m."
