The Monster Yamaha Tech 3 star brought his machine onto the main stage at the NEC in Birmingham before starting up the 800cc YZR-M1 in front of a packed crowd.

Crutchlow's Grand Prix compatriots from the lower classes also made appearances on stage with Moto2 riders Bradley Smith and Scott Redding joining 125cc youngsters Danny Kent, Danny Webb, Harry Stafford and Taylor Mackenzie.
