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.

Superbike - I've heard similar reports before, people saying he's the life of the party, etc. I think when it comes to racing he's just all business and is probably very shy also.

At any rate, Puig is an idiot. As someone else said, why would Hayden even want to use Pedro's settings considering they both have vastly different riding styles, etc. The entire series of comments from Puig are just idiotic, there's not much more I can say about it.

I'm not a big fan of Hayden, but it's pretty clear to see who is the prefered person at HRC - and even though he delivered a title it's not him. Hope he goes well on the Ducati - Bring on '09!!!

What a horrible article. Alberto proves that he is the bitter, controlling pr!ck that many of us have assumed all along. He is obviously trying to take ALL of the focus off his "always a bridesmaid, never a bride" rider. Dani is talented but I do beleive his chance at the championship has probably passed. I can't see Dani ever being happy with any team mate but eventually he, Puigg and Honda will have no one else to blame for his short comings (no pun intended...seriously). This was an unjust attack on Nicky probably meant to undermind his recent success. I wish Nicky the best at Ducati and I hope that he finds success and respect with his new team. And good luck to Dovi!

Keep talkin Piggy, Honda and even Repsol have had enough of pedrobot and his lover... 2010 will see Pedrosa looking for a ride after Bautista takes over his spot. I see a repeat of biaggi-gate.

Can someone provide a link or some refernce as to what Hayden ever said about Puig/Pedrosa? I can't picture the guy making malicious attacks or inferrences about anyone. He even stopped short of lashing out at Pedrosa after the '06 debacle.

Outlining differences in philosophy/style within the Honda camp? Yeah, he's probably done/said that. These things were pretty obvious. Still, it seemed the media were making all of the allusions to Hayden getting shafted regarding equipment/priority. I didn't hear Hayden saying these things.

Or is Puig just a first-class p*****?

"All I can do is bring my experience of racing like Honda has asked me to do"

Yeah ''berto, your VAST experience. The man wins ONE lousy race in 1995 and that gives him the experience to do what exactly?! And whoever said he was a God. A God of what exactly? Taking little boys and turning them into tanrtrum throwing, whining little boys? If thats the case then yes, he certainly is a God in that respect.

Besides, we all know God has 8 titles to his name. And I would venture to say thats a little more significant than ONE race.

Nicky kept his composure as a rider since day 1. HRC should reprimand (FIRE) Puig for his stupid comments and behavior after HOW many years of this verbal diarrhea.

I think it maybe time to look around you Dani. Your 'Manager' is slagging off your old teammate. This bravado speech on your behalf could come back to bite you. New teammate next year - Will he beat you? (Possibly.) Will you get on? - (Maybe not.) Then what. Will HE be 'Jealous' of you or will he just steal your information. Your 'Manager' is making YOU look like a fool. Wise up or tell him to shut up.

WHAT? Since Rossi's departure, Repsol buying, and Puig's/Pedrosa's promise to nowhere… I did not think Honda would keep sinking anymore: then again, I was wrong!

Wow! Judging by the amount of agree comments, I think its fair to say that most people here would prefer Pedrosa & Puig to **** off back to Spain.

The last few races Nicky has been quicker than Dani, so I think Dani is the one suffering because of the wall in the Honda garage. How can Puig call Nicky jealous? What have those two done in the premier class?

Pedrosa is nothing more than a jumped up 250cc rider who will never amount to much, especially while Rossi and Stoner are at the top of their games.

The brutal truth about Dani is that he can only win when his bike is perfect and Rossi and Stoner have problems. And he couldn't outbrake my mother...
