Well this is obviously a very disappointing finish to what had been a promising weekend until this morning. In the dry we seemed to have a very good package, but the drying track for the race turned things into a bit of a lottery. Still, I made a good start and felt reasonably comfortable in the early laps of the race. I was able to catch the leaders up but then I fell at the last chicane. I do not really know what happened, the back just snapped around even before I had given it any throttle. With hindsight, perhaps I should have come into the pits a little earlier, but that is easier to say now than at the time. We can certainly take some positives from this race even though the result is disappointing for me and the team. I think we had a good chance of winning if it had stayed dry so we must just continue trying to win the last few races. The more worrying thing for me right now is that it feels like I have broken a bone in my left foot. I will have more X-rays and really hope I am fit for the next race in Australia. Congratulations to Casey on winning the championship. He has been very strong all season and really deserves the title he won today.
