goodbye yamaha m1

It is hard for me to put into words how I'm feeling as I come to these last two races for Yamaha. It has been a beautiful seven years and I am sad to say goodbye to my M1! More than anything I want to have good final races and I want to thank Yamaha by helping them to win the Manufacturers' title. They are not two of my best tracks but anyway we will do our best! My shoulder is okay, I will have the operation immediately after Valencia and I hope to be okay for next season. I think Valencia will be an emotional time for me and my team, and we will do everything we can to make it the best possible 'goodbye'".
