THEY WERE TEAMMATES, teammates are supposed to share data. PUIG is an idiot and just making excuses for Dani''s poor performance as of late getting out paced by a larger rider on a bike built for the MIDGET. PUIG is one of the main problems with REPSOL.

I read somewhere that the contracts allowed Pedrosa to review Hayden's data but not vice versa. I have a feeling Puig is just lying in an attempt to make Pedrosa look better.

I (and im sure many others do to) like Nicky, but there is ALOT we dont know about and dont ever get to see.. I'm guessing there is something in Puigs speech that is true, and certainly some falses there too.
Of course NH is a likeable lad before the camera and in interviews, but we dont know how a person is when he is not in the spotlight, things arent going that well,.
And Portugal 2006, I'm SURE that started a little 'cold war'.
Your sweet neighbor might not be so sweet!

Alberto Puig is a GOD! Pedriod. Only he has the guts to be so honest and open and say how things really are. Hayden is such a hypocrite! Of course ha has a problem with Dani because the spaniard is the number 1 in Honda and completely made a fool of hayden last year.
GO ALBERTO!

Just a wild thought... I get the feeling that Repsol Honda forced Hayden to run Dani's settings to gather more data. Now that he can do what he wants (like mega slide the rear in Indianapolis) it seems that we now finally see the real Hayden.

If I remember correctly Hayden and Pedrosa use different compound tires all the time, different TC settings, have different weight distribution on the bike and many times in past seasons ran different spec bikes. Especially this year when Hayden had to run the 2008 spec at the start while Dani was still on the proven 2007, while later Hayden first went to the pneumatic and got that working for him (and Dani).... Really shows who the real muppet is

Puig is an idiot, Pedrosa is a spoilled brat and Nicky has been the consummate professional during his time with Honda. He has not publicly blamed honda or his "team-mate" during or since that incident in 2006 when Pedrosa did the dumbest thing possible and knocked him off.

Nicky is leaving this bull**** behind him and will surely still maintain his composure despite the rantings of these fools.

Funny, I remember Honda developing a bike for Dani after Nicky won the title, and I seem to recall Dani being hurt during the preseason development of the bike, and him telling the press that Nicky can''t develope a bike, but when on to finish second in the championship. Then he switched to Bridgestone mid season blaming his lack of resutls on his tires... And Puig says Nicky is the one with the bad attitude? Also a funny thing to note is that Stoner went from Honda to Ducati and won a championship, I guess Honda is not as good as Puig thinks they are...

If Honda only cared about winning the title than they should have never slapped Rossi in the face. What was it? Oh, "It doesn't matter if Rossi leaves, we'll just build a faster Honda"!!! Honda is a freakin joke. They make more money than any other manufacturer practically comibined and they can't win now....lol....Hope Hayden, Rossi and all the others they have scorned smashes Honda all the way to their respective retirements...lol
