The Spaniard has renewed his deal with Yamaha for the next two years. The 23-year old, who joined Yamaha in 2008 riding next to Valentino Rossi, will be teammates with Ben Spies, who also signed a two-year deal with factory Yamaha. Rossi will be competing in 2011 on the Ducati Team next to Nicky Hayden.
Lin Jarvis (Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing) says: "We are extremely happy that we have reached an agreement with Jorge to remain a Factory Yamaha rider for 2011 and 2012. Since he joined three years ago he has made great progress and has improved himself every year to go from fourth place and ‘best rookie' in 2008, to second place in 2009, to challenging for the MotoGP championship title in 2010."
"I am particularly pleased to finally get the agreement in place here in Japan because it will now enable Jorge to focus all of his efforts and concentration in the coming weeks to try to secure his first MotoGP class rider's title. Being only 23 years old I believe Jorge has a long career ahead of him and hopefully he can win many world titles with Yamaha."
"Jorge will be joined by Ben Spies in the Factory Team next year and with these two exceptionally talented hungry young riders we will start the 2011 season with the most exciting and competitive team in the paddock."
So its going to be exciting for the 2011 MotoGP, just wait and get on riding.
