MOTOGP » Dani sets return date, doubts Hayden

Cagiva is owned by the Castiglione brothers from Varese, Their main brand is MV Agusta now, they'll be back in WSBK as such,
they owned Ducati using their engines (most Pantah's with beltdrive Desmo), they owned Moto Morini (fabulous V-twins with Heron piston system) and Husqvarna (Swedish offroad fourstrokes) for a while at certain times, 'strategically' selling of this or that brand.
they still build nimble 125 twostrokes (Mito, very popular) and some bigger fourstroke bikes.
I think the Castiglione brothers are smoking big sigars

Well, someone had to take Biaggi's place in the a__hole department for MotoGP class. I guess we know who that is (Pedrosa for those that can't guess). With that attitude, we can only hope that he will take Biaggi's place in the "Bridesmaid" department as a perrenial runner-up in MotoGP. Good luck to Dani, I'm rooting for you (not).

lol

Wow! Could that be *THE* Dennis Noyes?
If it is, Hello!

After reading the various comments left by Spanish speaking folks on here about what was actually put to Dani, I do believe it was a "loaded" question but, I have to say he certainly didn't do himself any favours by answering it in a tactful, or respectful manner. If that IS how he replied then I stick by my original comment, he's got alot to learn about manners and it's only going to make Nicky all the more eager to beat him.

Cagiva bought Aermacchi off Harley Davidson, and as Morgue said also bought MV Agusta, Moto Morino, Ducati (1985) and Husqvarna (87). It was during Cagiva's ownership that the iconic 996 and Monster were designed and released. Ducati was sold to Texas Pacific Group in 95, Husqvarna to BMW at end of 2007. MV is now their core brand, with only the Cagiva Mito and Raptor models remaining under the Cagiva badge.


JL
Cagiva X-Raptor #202 of 999 this is the bike Ducati would have replaced the Monster with if Duc wasn't sold off (same designer, was in pre-prod at time of sale)

Yeah the Robot isnt too likable,,, but is that our fault...

To The Morgue, It is actually funny that you tell people to grow up as you post your ***** on this site more than anyone else. You are a student, but you are far from objective. You, as well as the rest of us, spit out our opinions and we all know what they are like and yes, to a good number of persons out here, they do stink! Hey, M M, do you have an original half-thought-out opinion or do you just wait to see what The Morgue writes and agree with him?

The question from the journalist is quite fair. But the Pinky answer's still the same as interpreted into the English version. He is really mean it to under estimate Hayden abilities developing the bike.

Hayden was not a worst development rider in any rate. It's just not the top one of course. Still, his development capabilities could allows at least 3 riders win on Honda opposed to the Pinky development that only allowed himself to wins.

the Pinky has burned the bridge. Not only to his team mate, but also show he is worse feedback feeder when he did not now why he was crashing. His mouth and team player, worse than Biaggi. His development level, worse than Hayden and Barros on Honda.

I have been reading all the comments about how terrible Dani is for making a statement like that for his teammate. Well, Nicky is the one who, some time now, doesn; t call him by his name, he always refers to him as "he" or sarcastically "mr. Pedrosa", I don; t think that this places him in the "good teammates" list. And if Dani is arrogant, what do you have to say for Lorenzo who said in the spanish paper El Mundo deportivo : "I know that Rossi is WOORIED that i am ALREADY faster than him" after the sepang test?

It's already almost common knowledge that Pedrosa and Hayden are not best friends. Portugal 2006 may had something to do with that.

So when Pedrosa has a dig on Hayden's development skill, I don't see the point of 'hyping' it up. Wouldn't it be more pathetic if Pedrosa gives false praise on what he thinks of Hayden?
