He never should of bothered with motogp, he was out of his depth as soon as he arrived and i think could have had more success in the smaller classes. But at least he tried i suppose.
Can't blame the guy for trying. I wish him the best, its a shame the way hes gone, never nice to see a rider go mid season. But hey, this is Grand Prix, if you can't cut it, then unfortunately its only a matter of time in this game, second chances don't tend to exist..
i wish him luck in the future, he was no where near the best but he sure had his moments,like his motogp win in the rain last year.

I expect he's talking about Shanghai 2005. Jacque, riding as a wildcard for the injured Hoffman, took second in a wet race.
It's always a pity when a rider isn't able to retire on their own terms, but Kawasaki made the right choice. The results weren't coming, and the injuries were getting worse and worse.
Jacque will always be remembered as a skillful wet weather rider, and for winning the 2000 250cc championship by 0.014 of second over Nakano.
And for his retirement he gets to fly around the world testing GP bikes! Lucky ..........
