LCR Honda rider has been discharged from hospital and declared fit ride in Sunday's MotoGP French Grand Prix following his heavy crash in qualifying.
Crutchlow was vying for a top two place in qualifying one to progress through to the pole position shootout n Saturday, when he suffered a monster highside crash exiting the right-hander of Garage Vert.
The British rider smacked his hip when he hit the tarmac, and the session was red-flagged while he was attended to trackside by circuit medical staff.
Crutchlow was stretchered off track and taken to the medical centre, before being transferred to hospital in Le Mans for further assessment.
A team statement released on Saturday night said checks at the hospital revealed Crutchlow had suffered no “major injuries” or fractures to his hip, but was kept in hospital overnight to undergo further tests.
Discharged from hospital this morning, Crutchlow went for a final check-up at the circuit's medical centre, where he was passed fit to take part in the fifth round of the 2018 season at Le Mans.
The British rider will start from 13th as he looks to end a barren run of back-to-back non-point scoring races, and ended morning warm-up at Le Mans 11th quickest.
