NEW GEAR: Alpinestars LIMITED EDITION Cal Crutchlow Supertech R boots. Order yours NOW.

To celebrate this weekend’s British MotoGP at Silverstone – Alpinestars has launched a new pair of Supertech R’s inspired by Cal Crutchlow.

Cal secured his place in British racing history when he gave a wet riding masterclass to take victory at the 2016 Czech Republic round – becoming the first Briton to win a premier class race since in 1981. He claimed 18 podiums, four poles and four fastest laps in his nine-year MotoGP career – as well as three WSBK wins, five WSS wins and the 2006 British Supersport title.

And paying tribute to Cal’s career, Alpinestars has just launched a set of new Limited Edition Supertech R race boots inspired by the man himself – with distinctive white, black and fluorescent yellow colour scheme, plus Union Jack detailing. And you can get your hands on a pair.

They’ll set you back $529.95 (around £430) – so they’re not exactly cheap. But you get what you pay for, and Supertech R’s are world renowned for being a top quality pair of boots. They’ve been used by the biggest and best bike racers for years.
