Pigeon, don't even joke about it man!
He wasn't joking, it stems from his particular view of another factory squad.

All I could find (for free...) was the Paddock talk quotes...
Spies:
Everything went pretty good and I put together one decent lap time and then I had good lap going when I made a mistake at the final corner. I caught Colin and he was actually trying give me a tow down the back straight to help me out, but I was a little further back than he thought and by the time I got to him we were hitting the brakes and I missed my brake marker and ran wide. That lap would have put me on the front row for sure but I'm confident that if we raced right now I'd be in the top five and that's what I'm looking for."
Edwards
“As for Ben, I was coming into the pits and I looked back coming out of turn four and I could see he was behind me. I thought I'd pick my pace up a little bit so I could perhaps tow him down the back straight and he might be able to get on the front row or even pole. But as I got closer to the final corner I guess he just missed his braking marker."
That's how Johnny... even Ben acknowledged he was helpin'!

Ben's a class act and I think genuinly likes Collin. I don't think Spies would rat Colin out even if he was at fault. Don't want to give the media any ammunition to try and start drama.

That is the question. Both slower than in FP2... hmmmm
With hotter temperature and lots of humidity their rear wheels don't seem to find enough grip....
Rain dance for both of them I guess!

I Hope Horhay wins his championship on podium at least. He hasn't anything to lose, he can even push for the win.
But i also like to see Rossi win his first gp after that crash.
By the way J.B has said he is also going to Ducati with Rossi. But we have to wait a few days to see if he denies it or not.
Gazzetta dello Sport,
Burgess set to follow Rossi to Ducati

"It's a new challenge," Burgess is quoted as saying. "It's true we'll have fewer test days, but we start from a more competitive base compared to 2004, when Yamaha was not as strong as Honda.
"On top of that, Valentino will be able to build a fine relationship with [Ducati boss] Filippo Preziosi, as he did in Yamaha with Masao Furusawa. Dealing directly with the top project manager speeds up work and makes problem solving easier."

I think the resumes and expectations of these 4 riders play a big part of the ego/not so teammate friendly. Two american riders with 3 WBSK titles in a class not taking US riders like they did 20 years ago don't pull as much weight as two "aliens" with 11 GP titles (should be 12 after tomorrow).....if Spies and Edwards start racking up titles then I bet they change in attitude when the chips don't fall where they planned.
everyone expects Rossi to win and for Lorenzo to be right there with him.....how many think Edwards will win a race let alone a title??? Spies has be crowned 5th alien but people still don't expect him to have a season anywhere close to his WSBK anomaly. It is easier to be friendly and smile when the median and fans are not waiting for you to fart on that first date and then point fingers and tell the whole school the next day.
Look at the posting on here and you can see how everyone can criticize and talk crap about the riders and racing....it gets heated and attitudes will flair up....so just imagine if you were the one on the bike and all of this is directed right back at you.
Look at Mladin once he started loosing to Spies.....he became an even less happy camper.
Fame and winning will bring out the greed and poor attitudes eventually.
