Last night in London’s West End CWM LCR Honda riders Cal Crutchlow and Jack Miller unveiled the team’s new livery for the 2015 MotoGP season.
Before the pair head off to the second pre-season testing session in Malaysia this weekend, both riders flew to London to join Team Manager, Lucio Cecchinello, to officially launch their 2015 campaign alongside the team’s new Title Sponsor CWM FX. Celebrating their 10th season in the MotoGP class this year, CWM LCR Honda will have two riders for 2015: Cal Crutchlow on the Honda RCV213V Factory bike and MotoGP rookie Jack Miller aboard the RC213V-RS Open Class bike.

After a rough season in 2014 with the Factory Ducati team, Crutchlow looks to build on his late season momentum and challenge for the podium with his new team
”I made the decision to move to the CWM LCR Honda Team when I sat down with Lucio and Anthony and I saw the passion that everybody involved had,” Crutchlow said via a team release. “I knew I wanted to get back to the ways of challenging for the podium on a regular basis, fighting to be the best satellite rider and then beating the factory guys when we can. The passion and drive from the two companies of CWM and LCR will hopefully bring me back to the front. I had a good end to 2014, and I am confident that form will continue into 2015.”
Miller will learn the ropes in MotoGP aboard the Honda RC213V-RS Open Spec. machine.
As for the young Australian, Miller was happy with the support from his new team.
”It’s been great since I came into the CWM LCR Honda Team,” Miller said. “From the very first test in Valencia and then through the winter period we have been working closely together and it’s all been so positive. We seem to be hitting it off pretty well so far anyway! The Honda is an animal, that’s for sure, but I’m enjoying it more every time I ride it. Anyone who watched me in Moto3 will know I love to throw a wheelie, and I love them even more with this bike! I just can’t wait for the season to get started.”
CWM FX steps up as new title sponsor for LCR Honda.
Team Principal Lucio Cecchinello also looks forward to 2015 with his new rider line-up.
“This is a special moment in my career,” Cecchinello said. “To be working side by side with Honda HRC, working with Cal who is a competitive rider and a proven front-runner, and working with Jack who is clearly very talented and represents the future. We have the support of an important company in CWM FX, alongside many of our long-term sponsors, and combined this makes a fantastic challenge for me. This is the beginning of a new chapter for the team and I will do my best to reward all the people involved in this project with results.”
Also a new addition to the team for 2015 is title sponsor CWM FX, which is a London-based online Forex trading firm.
