<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Teo, you don't understand because you think this is the
only egregious act Dani has done to Nicky. Most people who think Hayden fans don't like Pedrosa make an error in thinking its only because of the Portugal incident. And even if that were the case,
it’s still enough not to like him. That crash was caused because
jealousy blinded the arrogant fool, and showed as much in his reaction after the crash. His continued antics and talking .... about Hayden has only
served to prove his lack of decent character and hence why Hayden fans and fans of other riders do NOT respect him. He's a prideful son of a ..... who has a
sense of entitlement; unfortunately, those around him like Puig and team Repsol cater to this flaw. I don't think its a matter of bland personality, I thing he really believes he is superior to his competitors in ability and status. You say we are cross because he is "faster", and say we make up excuses. Well answer this question.
Was the 07 bike designed for Dani or Nicky in mind? (The answer is a no brainier, there is plenty of evidence to answer this question, the only way you could say it was for both would be to deny reality thus showing your blind bias). I don’t know yet what your answer is, but if its like most that would admit it was
designed for Pedrosa, then this might give you some insight to why he is “faster” as you say. I don’t really know how you could say he was better than Nicky in 06, last I checked he didn’t win the title, or runner up. Obviously this topic has been written about much, but you and people like you still
manage to say it was 'solely' because of the Portugal crash. But where have you been the last two years?
Have you not read time and time again the arrogant comments by a man who as of yet NOT won jack ....?
Nah to me he hasn't done any egregius act to Nicky at all. He ...... up at Estoril and took down another rider, it was unfortunate that the other rider was his teammate but it happens all the time. He did act as a teammate the next race staying put behind Nicky to maximise Nicky's title chances and it all worked fine.
All the nonsense about antics and .... talking I wont ever bother discussing I completely disgree, everything I've hear him say in all his career is what any other rider would say, maybe you should read something else than superbikeplanet et al that seem so biased and false I wonder it they were written by Nicky's mom.
I don't know if HRC developed the 07 bike to suit Dani (I really doubt it since this projects start more than a year before they are on track, and by the time Dani wasn't even in MotoGP) but anyway if they fine tuned the design to suit Dani I find a very reasonable thing to do since it became obvious to them, and to all the rest of the world (that isn't a Nicky fan) who was the better rider for the future.
As you correctly quoted I said faster, not better, Nicky was the better overall rider in 2006 (I mean between teammates, obviously Rossi was better).
Oh and by the way, Dani is a 3x world champion, which is far from "NOT winning jack ....", I will not write an example of what not winning jack .... is cause I don't have anything against Nicky and it would be cruel to him to point the finger at him just to piss you off like you pretend to do the other way round.
I wish Nicky the best, he seems a decent guy and and he is a good rider.
