Hello everybody and as always, welcome to all the new members!!! Thanx for the support!!! Well, basically just wanted to check in and give you some insight on the latest news. Especially, the most important one, with my new two year deal wit Suzuki!!! I know some of you may be thinking "what the hell was he thinking ?" It wasn't the easiest of decisions, but here are my reasons:
1). The thing that would have upset me more than anything, was for Suzuki to get it completely right the next one or two years (which I have faith in!), and me not being there, therefore leaving a bike I have spent the last 3 years developing for some other rider to reap the benefits!
2). Having the same crew!!! I have an awesome crew chief that understands my style and knows just how I like the machine to react. Also, a group of mechanics that work extremely hard (especially in Germany) and are a hilarious, great group of people!
3). I have a lot of respect for Paul Denning!!! I have every bit of faith that Paul is going to do everything in his power to have me on a very competitive machine, plus he doesn't take no for an answer! [so if you read this Paul don't let me down : ) ]
4). From the information I have been given recently, I suspect that our progress rate will increase rapidly over the next 3 to 4 months, and carry on from there, just from engine parts being built in Japan now (cant give any specifics at this time, sorry ).
On top of it all, the other way we looked at it, is that it gives me another 2 years to improve myself on and off of the race track, leaving me to be 24 and 6 years moto gp experience. I plan on being around a long time and I still, and will, have every bit of hunger and determination to win the world championship!!!
