MotoGP Valencia Riders Recap

This one photo need no explanation.
Jorge Lorenzo dominated the entire 2010 MotoGP season with his 9 wins and amazingly was off the podium only twice in 18 races.
Lorenzo has decided to use #1 instead of his racing number next season.

Here’s what the riders had to say after the final race of season and including all the good-byes from riders who’ll be switching teams, ready to test on Tuesday and Wednesday.

You’ll also find the final 2010 standings and points after the jump.

Jorge Lorenzo – 1st“Coming here to Valencia I really wanted to win one more time in this fantastic season, in front of my home fans.
In the practices I was fast all weekend, but it seemed like Casey was even faster.
I made a good start today but in the second corner trying to pass Casey I got overtaken by three or four riders, then I had a hard fight with Simoncelli when I nearly fell! I kept calm after that and concentrated and then lap-by-lap I recovered.
I had a wonderful fight with Casey at the end.

Winning here in front of my home crowd at this special track is one of the happiest moments of my life.
We are proud to have got the record for the most number of points with 383, I used to be known as a crazy rider who crashed too much so to demonstrate consistency in this way makes me proud.
Thanks to Yamaha and everyone involved for a fantastic season – now we have time to celebrate tonight before we start working for 2011 on Tuesday.
Finally I want to say goodbye and good luck to Valentino – I am looking forward to racing him next year!”
