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

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

So while I was studying, I rode my Trials bike, then I moved to roadracing.
