Who say when riders has a girlfriend and go to circuit with her
it's mean no time for fans to get cheer from the rider him self. I'm the one
who proved that was not true at all and doesn't apply to British rider with
number 35 Cal Crutchlow.
When I met him at
Motegi, I don't have enough time to talk and take a picture with him, he look
so busy with all activities at circuit and after very disappointed result at the
Motegi weekend after very strong to grab podium and must lost on the last lap.
So after the race I don't many time to meet him and Lucy at the circuit, only say "Hi" and smile.
On October 2012
when Sepang circuit with very wet weather force him to lost point one more
time, he just crashed out at the final corner on lap 11. But this time he was not immediately
leave his box to go back to the hotel, he still on the box with his team and mechanics
talking about how was the race. And when the rains almost stop, he just comes
out from the box to meet with their fans who wait already on the back of the
paddock.
And the little
girl who really brave enough to called his name "Cal Crutchlow, how are
you?" the cute voice of this little girl forced him to coming out
again from the box and lowered his body to getting closer talking with her and
asked "What's your name?" and the little girl answered "Shaina"
and the lovely conversation was happened
Cal : "How old are you?"
Shaina : "Six"
Cal : (little shouting like excited) "Lucy...Lucy come here... "
And the beautiful woman with orange dress came closer and joint with the conversation
Lucy : "Hi...cute girl what's your name?" Cal : "Shaina... she's funny hah..." (look to Lucy with his blue eyes)
I can feel how Cal
really loves Lucy and how both of them really enjoy talking with Shaina.
And when Shaina
took a picture with Cal Crutchlow, Lucy also want to took pic together and it
was really great and lovable moment between rider, his girlfriend and fans. No
distance, all united in the common, even Shaina only answered them with simple English.
Shaina said Thank
you to Cal and Lucy, and Cal ran back into his paddock and then Shaina turn around
to leave the paddock. But Cal came out again and called the girl
Cal : "Hey..Shaina.."
Lucy : "Hi...come here, Cal has something for you.."
Cal with his smile gave his glove to Shaina and...
Cal : "Do you know what it is?"
Shaina : "yes..gloves"
Cal : "Great...but it’s a bit wet"
Shaina just silent look to him.
Cal : "Is she know what I said" (he look at me while asking)
Me : "Ok I will tell her... wet means Basah, because after he used it for race in the rain"
Shaina : "Ahh Wet..Thank you"
Cal : "It's ok nice to meet you"
Shaina face was
very happy, she smile and hold the glove very tightly. And she was busy opened her
bag, look trying hard to find something and she pulled out a small gift which she
had prepared special for Cal, and said
Shaina : "This is for you"
Cal : "What is that ..?" (Cal opens the cover of the small gift from Shaina) and..."What we called it?"
Shaina : "miniature of musical instrument from Indonesia, we called it 'Kecapi'
Cal : "Ahhh thanks" (and he pretended to playing that and laughing)
I'm so appreciate
when rider after very tired day on the race and willing to take time for fans,
who have been trying to come to meet with the idol. And also appreciate with
his girl Lucy who friendly enough and allow time for his man to cheer his fans. Warm hearted.
Thank you Cal
Crutchlow after the SIDI shoes on 2011 come into our home and 2012 for the
racing gloves stay at our home. Lovely and so pleasant rider. Success for your career
and congratulation on your engagement with Lucy.
