Gibernau retired - stevegula - 11-08-2006
was on dcsportbikes.net this morning, but I have no idea how many of y'all read that board -
Quote: Former double MotoGP World Championship runner-up and nine-times grand prix winner, Sete Gibernau, has announced his retirement from racing.
An emotional Gibernau confirmed the conclusion of his ten-year MotoGP career during a press conference in Barcelona, saying:
"I have decided to retire from world championship motorcycling. It has been an incredible experience and given me many unforgettable moments. I'm proud of what I've achieved, I dreamt of being world champion and went through some difficult moments, but those just made me appreciate the good times more. I'm very pleased to have won races in both 500cc and MotoGP, to have led the world championship on several occasions and to have fought to the end to become a world champion."
He went on to say he had offers to ride other machines in MotoGP for next year but they weren't competitive enough to keep him interested.
