Puig will destroy anybody in HRC endangering Pedrosa's seat. I don't think Pedrosa has the guts to accept a team mate faster than him.
Now that will be a waste for Dovi, who is really-really fast.

Are we forgetting that Dani was a world Champion in his class (125 and 250) for 3 years straight 2003-2005? What is Dovi's track record (I'm not taking anythign from Dovi's "potential", just stating the historic facts)?

Come on LEX, projekZERO got it right, you gotta lay off the wheelchair weed man.

"after Vale clinched...Nicky and Marco smoked [him]..." - even you have to see the hilarious irony of your statement!

"I have long suspected technology suppression. It doesn't make any sense that Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Suzuki would all adapt easily to the same decades old F1 technology, while Honda, a company that currently races in F1, can't get the pneumo sorted for this season." Sorry LEX but I'm trying to type while I'm holding my sides - "Kawasaki, adapt easily" is making me cry with laughter!!! "... long suspected technology suppression." - No, no, no I'm gonna puke with laughter!!!

Wait... the most hallucinogenic part is coming... "Perhaps the pneumatic bike was never meant to run Michelins? OMG how the f- did they know they were getting Bridgestones?! I thought Fukui wanted Michelin?! I thought Honda weren't allowed to test Brigestones, they have a contract with Michelin. Wake up, you naive little sheep!". Stop I'm rolling on the floor dude. Have you missed a scheduled med? Do you think MotoGP is the National Security Council?

He is racing director for Repsol and Dani's manager in one person
Has the power to: give Dani bridgestone, put other drivers to work for Dani (Nakano), center HRC eforts mostly for Dani.

Dovi has only 1 championship, but he didn't have the help of o factory garage.
Pedrosa was winning when his bike was by far the best.

With a proper Honda effort he could do more. When Michelin sucked this Year he was the highest ranking Michelin rider. His private Honda can never have a fight against Rossis Yamaha or the factory Ducatis. Dovi was always there in 2008 where his "hardware limits" are. So, give him a better bike lets see what he can capable of.

Dani matters to HRC while most of the rest of the Honda rider do not and never did....

Dani is deciding what he wants and needs to win, and HRC are listening just like the did for Rossi back when he rode for them...

I'm talking about both things happening simultaneously. Dani secured Bridgestones the next thing you know he's riding the pneumatic bike--the bike he doesn't like and he has yet to ride without hurting himself.

If you think it's coincidence, okay Just like when Nicky had to ride the 2007 bike at Qatar, that was also a coincidence. Or maybe this is like the beginning of 2007 when the RC212V was perfectly Dan-sized. That was also a coincidence.

Here sheepy sheepy.

For those of you who don't know him here is LEX's pic...

Puig is also a DORNA EMPLOYEE. He is one of the primary advisors for DORNA in the Red Bull Rookies Cup. He is also responsible for scouting and promoting the talent from the smaller classes.

Yes. Puig is a DORNA employee, who tried to use his sway to organize a Michelin boycott.

Spoon feeding you humble pie, like I did your predecessors, is going to be most enjoyable.

Puig is a DORNA employee like Thai PM Samak Sundaravej is an employee of Thai TV.

I don't believe I have any predecessors (my, a four syllable word, LEX). So far you've been a pretty easy target...

How else am I to attract prey?

mylexicon = funnel web spider??

Let's see if you get the double entendre

Well if that's you, I know you live where its deep and cold, without any friends and have a hard time attracting a mate...
