Jorge Lorenzo has decided to skip the last MotoGP race of the season at Valencia.
With Casey Stoner having already taken the title, and with no other rider able to take away his second place in the standings, the Yamaha rider can concentrate on getting back to full fitness following the surgery he had to undergo to repair the extensive damage to left middle and ring finger, a result of his warm-up practice crash at Phillip Island.

Lorenzo will again be replaced by Katsuyuki Nakasuga.
After withdrawing from the Sepang GP, Ben Spies will be at Valencia and the Yamaha factory team will again appear with the red and white 50th anniversary of Grand Prix livery.
“I can’t believe I won’t be battling Marco on the track this weekend, it’s an incredibly sad way to finish the season.
I’m going to honour him in the best way I know how, on the track.

As with last year I arrive in Valencia recovering from injuries, but will of course give 100% of my efforts into performing to the best of my ability,” said Spies.

While Katsuyuki Nakasuga said, “It was a great honour to be chosen to ride for Jorge at Sepang and here at Valencia.
Due to the tragic loss of Marco Simoncelli in Malaysia the race was cancelled.
This weekend the track will be new for me but I will try as hard as I can to deliver good results.
