I'm not always going to keep waiting for a fairytale ending.

I've said many times in the past that my career's not going to go on much longer; I'm not going to keep going and riding until I'm in my 30s and things like this.

I have been going from one racetrack to another for years, since I was 14.

People are telling me I might be going back to MotoGP, but a rumour is a rumour.

I've always known there's more to life than just racing for a long time.

Even now with the operation, with the damage done, my ankle probably is never going to be back to 100 per cent.
