I'd suggest you read the link carefully before painting Puig as a two-dimensional villain. He helped Stoner out a lot and still says good things about him. On the other hand, Puig can get carried away when it comes to media tiffs.
You may want to take another look at the article yourself, but this time try to use a bit of discernment...if you can. The title should have been a clue: 'Puig reminds Stoner how he helped him at the beginning'. The article tries to paint Puig as the one who helped Stoner make it. Haha, what a ....... joke, Puig also says (as he can't resist) that Pedro would have won three MotoGP titles by now had he not got hurt. This reminds me of what Pete said, and "if Hailwood was still alive and the Beatles not broken up." So a Spanish article paints Puig in a positive light? NO. And now he wants to associate himself with Stoner, as if he was the sole reason he came to Europe, bla bla bla. Hey everybody, look at Puig, he's a ....... saint and is the reason Casey is now with Repsol Honda. They quote Casey saying, yeah, he helped a bit at the beginning, but as soon as he saw I could compete with Pedro, Puig threw me to the curb. And then Puig says he's disappointed that Stoner feels ties were cut after he (Puig) saw he (Stoner) was fast and might challenge Pedro. Puig then says, well maybe Stoner doesn't remember very well, so I'll remind him. Hey, look everybody, Puig the keeper of our collective history is about to speak, listen up.
That whole ....... article is a highjack dude and if you followed the sport a bit closer, you'd know the type of character and conniving son of a ..... Puig is, and what he is capable of, as he wields much power (having a bed buddy like Carmelo, which he mentions in the article) in the sport. This isn't the first time he's highjacked a media outlet to make himself look good. Puig talks to self aggrandize himself, and you swallow it whole, talking about how Stoner shouldn't forget where he came from and who (probably pointing at his chest) helped him out. Then he losses it by saying, in conclusion, I have pride when I see him in the paddock as I know I helped him out and did it out of the kindness of my heart, I didn't do it for something in return. Then adds (....... comical) I don't even have an autographed helmet of Stoner's in my house (wtf) bla bla bla.
I don't paint Puig as a "two-dimensional villain", I paint him much worse. You can go sucking his .... if you like, that's your prerogative.
It's a bit hard to read a Spanish article when you don't speak/read Spanish.
Here is the gist:
Spanish mag, so tell us Lord Puig, your thoughts on Stoner accusing you of kicking him to the curb once he could compete with Pedro. Ah, well, Stoner doesn't remember, here is the deal, I adopted him as my son and taught him how to .... and wipe his .... He made it because of me. Oh, and Pedro, he would have won every year had he not been hurt. Ah, so thanks for setting the record straight. No problem, any time, and let me add, I do everything in this sport because I have such a big heart, and I wish Stoner could realize this, as I don't even have a singed helmet of his in my house.
