I’m sorry and I apologize, especially to those who saw it on television. It was not an example of sportsmanship, especially for young people, “he said, referring to the thumb towards facing Rossi during the ceremony at the end of the Malaysian Grand Prix.” I think Valentino and I we form one of the best teams in the world, h another year of contract, my intention is to continue with Yamaha, not only until I retire but also after. This has always been in my mind, of course, all marriages have time to disagree, and this can happen between me and Yamaha. “
