“I always say ‘Happy Rider, Fast Rider’ and working with everyone in Team HRC, from all the technicians in Japan, to my practice mechanic, to my physio, it is all so enjoyable and I always look forward to going racing.

“I have won five World Championships with Honda so I am extremely comfortable on-board the CRF450R and they always do such a great job with developing and improving the machine, so I know Iā€™ll be riding a bike capable of winning title number six in 2023.

“A huge thank you to all my supporters around the world, and I look forward to meeting you at Team HRC next year.”
