It's quite easy to start Trials riding. You just need a bike and you're set.

I've enjoyed winning races in both 500cc and MotoGP and enjoyed leading the world championship and contesting it right up until the end.

We've done all the work that HRC wanted on the twin and the project has been completed. We were consistently up there with the top guys and that is what HRC wanted to prove.

I'm proud of my triumphs. I've dreamed of being world champion, I've had some difficult times and they've made me value the good times.

I've decided to retire from top class racing. It has been an incredible experience and has provided with me some unforgettable moments.

With roadracing, it takes a lot more time and money.
