Lorenzo's Yamaha years in his own words
After nine seasons and three championships, Jorge Lorenzo is leaving Yamaha - his only MotoGP employer so far - for Ducati after next weekend's Valencia season finale. He relives his Yamaha years in his own words in an exclusive column for Autosport
It's a little bit sad to be leaving Yamaha, because I've been with them a lot of years and I entered MotoGP with them when I was just 20 years old. I will leave after nine years, with a lot of success for both Yamaha and I.
But life is like that. I decided to take this challenge of going to Ducati, and I would like to finish my period with Yamaha in the best way possible at Valencia.
