“It was a surprise for everyone, as a team-mate I didn't expect it, I saw him still eager, but when the moment comes and you no longer have motivation, it's right to do it. Jorge is an incredible rider, he is a 5-time world champion, a rider with great personality on and off the track. I only understood today that he would retire, he had also struggled with the Ducati, but then he went strong. I saw him very convinced of his decision, he is a champion and when a champion no longer wins something happens. However, I congratulate him on his career."
