As you can imagine, it really hurt after being the last bike to cross the finishing line at my home Grand Prix at Silverstone, but those truly amazing British fans did so much to help me to prepare to fight the battle that lies ahead.
So here we go again – and my first season as a factory rider.
I HAD the worst start to my final weekend with the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha team.
I’m coming back to Europe after the opening three races confident we are back in a strong position with 15 chances to make up for the no points in Austin.
IT’S strange situation when I’m disappointed to finish eighth in a grand prix.
I CAME into the Aragon weekend determined to focus on all the weaknesses we’ve experienced.
