Pedrosa shoots his mouth off again

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BarryMachine @ Jan 27 2008, 04:59 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>hmmmmm .......... take away one from Yamaha which was due to Rossi wanting to run an untested proto-pneumo-valved engine ......... can't blame the mechanicals for that .... he was told quite frankly that it was not ready ...... kinda like if I decided to do the Dakar on one of these fledgling new chinese scooters we see, terrorists or not I would have blown up


and

do you count the French declaring Dani the "Rainbow Warrior 2", and torpedoing him ........ as a mechanical failure?? ..... his bike looked a bit broke after that


So Rossi had one DNF and it was his fault? Jeez, why do Yamaha employ a guy like that, he must be really crap.

It was mechanical failure....the DaniBot blew a head gasket.

2 DNF's ..... one a crash .... the other ... the one in question ....... was the untested pneumatic valve engine ( which he pushed to use against the engineers advice ) ............ so really Yamaha was not to blame at all, except that they should have stood their ground and said no to the use of the pneumatic engine ...... if Rossi threatened to walk ...... well you get the picture .... doesn't look great for Yamaha at the time ...... as it played out ...... looks like they at least played it to not be blamed.


There was so much "politics" and "entrigue" in 07 , thats why I think what Dani has said is just a start for 08, lets face it since he torpedoed Hayden he has been copping a lot of flak ....... probably feels resentment and now he has a bit more credit can't help let it out ......

Where did you get the info that the engineers advised him against using the pneumatic valve engine at Misano?
BTW, actually 3 DNFs :
2, 1, 10, 2, 6, 1, 2, 4, 1, DNF, 4, 7, DNF, 1, 13, 3, 5, DNF

I`m really pissed that Dani bust his hand.Even though I`m rooting for Nicky again this year,I had a feeling that Dani would be really strong in the 08 season , but now he`ll be set back a little.Damn!!I really do want to see what he is capable of in MGP.Oh well.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Gaz @ Jan 27 2008, 08:34 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Now bear in mind that I have not seen the alleged comments other than what has been written here, nor do I know the context or language used.

But, could a lot of this be a 'mis undertanding' of the comments?

When other riders make comments we often hear the 'lost in translation' type arguments, so why because it is DP must we believe that he has indeed intended the comments? Or is it because the comments were aimed at NH?

I actually feel that DP would have intended a dig at NH and within his mind he is perfectly entitled to do so, but as has been said elsewhere there is a time and place to speak, and a time and place to shut up.

Hi Garry,

Although you highlight some valid points, the fact that Dani has made similar comments in the past indicate that he was not taken out of context.

Cheers

what goes round comes round.... this could be his punishment for almost blowing Nickys title in 06

simple.... let them fight.

Spanish Press talking to a Spainard,kinda doubt there was anything lost in translation.

I know who i would put my money on.After seeing Nicky's rage and Dani running from the scene in 06,it was clear Asimo wanted no part of that.

Nick would STOMP that turd into MUDD.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Haga @ Jan 25 2008, 10:29 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I don't think he's actually purposely critisising Nicky in that statement, I just think he's putting his views across.


I do believe that little afterbirth meant exactly what he said, looks like Pedrosa is going to turn out to be another Max Biaggi, lots of talk some talent and and big mouth.

The comment wasn't necessary that's for sure.
I think there is enough tension in that garage already.

pedrobot, the little shitstain is a perfect example of someone having a napoleon complex

I have officially crossed the threshold of general dislike of Pedrosa to outright animosity.
True I am a Hayden guy but I think that if CV bashed Hopper or Rossi bashed Edwards
or Casey bashed Loris or West bashed RDP to the press than I would feel as if they had
crossed a line and would feel the same.
There must be a inferiority complex going on with him.
He has all the skill in the world and he has beat Nicky quite a few times but like I've
said before he seems to have it out for Nicky more than any other.
In a way it makes me quite happy that the guy he always beat in the 125's and 250's
beat his ... this year when it counted.

I can't wait till he gets to Indy.
That place is going to be packed with Nicky fans ready to pounce on his ....
California guys are nice and laid back and may give him a free ride
but the midwest boys will be all over him.

I wonder who has the inferiority complex though.
To me it doesn't sound like his got it. The new(/re)born perdrosa haters on this site on the other hand....

Sure, if it's correctly translated he sure sound like a jerk, but seriously what else is new?


- still surpriced that anyone take that kind talk seriously.

not me mate, its just trash talk and mind games. all part of the competitiveness of the sport, do and say anything to get an edge. its always been a part of motor racing and boxing.
nicky knows talks cheap, he's been in the game long enough.
