"I am disappointed to have finꦆished the season with a crash,"༺ said the former BSB champion and MotoGP rider. "I have been on fire all weekend and really thought I could have won or at least got on the podium, but the damp conditions caught me out and I suffered a pretty big crash that gave me concussion and ruled me out of the second race.
"It's been a chaไllenging season but on a positive note I enjoyed riding this weekend and now know what it's going to take to win the title in 2007. I'll be back more determined than ever," he vowed.
