Everyone was very nice; and Hatsumi (Tsukamoto) was very kind to me, helpful and understanding. I really appreciate her kind gesture in making me feel very special.”Also in Valencia, Keyur got a chance to meet and talk to many other riders in the paddock plus some ‘old’ friends, including former Suzuki MotoGP Press Officer Tim Walpole, now Michelin’s Press representative; and who Keyur has enjoyed a long friendship, along with then Team Manager Paul Denning. “They were wonderful years,” says Keyur. “I have so many wonderful memories and could never forget them!”For the occasion at the Valencia MotoGP™, Keyur received a VIP Pass, stood on the starting grid, was interviewed on TV by Dorna; plus was given the honour of presenting awards on the Moto3 podium.Now back home and still reflecting on the occasion, Keyur summed-up the journey to Valencia as “the greatest experience of my life and one that I will never forget.
