You really thought he would stay with Ducati? The men was clearly unhappy there and with the bike.
I always found his decision to move too Ducati from Yamaha not a good choice for his career, but thats me.
So LCR Honda you say? will he take the place of Bradl or will he be his teammate? New Sponsor(s) as well i read.
Cal Crutchlow LCR (http://www.lcr.mc/eng/news/2014/cal-crutchlow-to-ride-with-cwm-lcr-honda-in-2015_ID_3_IDa_12094.htm)
No, Bradl is out of LCR. LCR tried to make a deal for 2 bikes. But Crutchlow would have been No.1 rider and would have had superior material compared to Bradl. So Bradl elected to test the market. We will see where he gets. He might end up with Forward maybe.
I am excited to see what Chrutchlow might achieve with a Honda that is close to the Repsol-Hondas. I am a huge fan of Crutchlow and very much hope that he will be strong again with a competitive bike. Not many riders can really be fast with the Ducati (so hats off to Dovizioso and Iannone).

I don't blame his decision to move to Ducati because 1. It's a big pay day 2. It was the only factory team offering him a ride.
The news of him leaving came as a little bit of a suprise because a week previous he and Dovi said they were both staying
