I would obviously like to have been arriving in Valencia with the title still up for grabs, let's not kid ourselves, but even though Valentino has won, the season is not over for me.

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

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

It's a shame we haven't had more time to test the new bike - in the end I only managed four laps with it. That's why it seems a little early for me to comment on its performance, but it is clear that Honda are making a big effort.

I'm having difficulty slowing down into corners. I would prefer to have these problems today because we still have time to improve.

We felt if we had beaten UCLA, we would have won this thing (the regular-season title). So it's probably fitting that we're playing. I just hope we get our legs back.
