To be honest, Nicky himself and Pete Benson have both admitted that Nicky is not the best rider in terms of setting up a bike. Nicky will just give that little bit more in a race to make up for it.
So in that Puig is not saying anything new.
The way he is saying it however, as well as his version of Estoril (from what I remember Dani and Puig first blamed Nicky for it) once again proves he is a total ahole.

nicky must be enjoying every minute of it. they even put up a wall so he didnt have to watch two diminutive sweaty spaniards(not all spaniards are sweaty btw just puig & pedro in this instance) scurrying about looking nervous and pressurised.

Agreed, but Puig tries to say that this was Pedros "learning year" in motogp.
The bloke is an absolute ....! He was ..... in his own racing career, and is employed to pass on his experience! Ha, dont make me laugh

Puig really is a complete walloper....i wonder if the poison dwarf wouldnt be quite as poisonous if Puig wasn't there?
When Dovi reads this, he should get some real warm fuzzy's. It should be the Repsol riders, not the Repsol 'team'. When Puig was asked about Dovi coming over next year...
'As for how it will affect us? It really won´t change much and won´t affect our way of working. He will be another rival on the track.´
Puig has this 'us against the world mentality'. Puig will do everything in his power to freeze any helpful data from filtering DOWN to Dovi. Of course any inprovements Dovi finds will most certainly percolate UP to Dani.
This is all great motivation for Nicky, perhaps contributing to his improved performance of late. Puig is a Prick.

I was just reading it and could not belive it ... if Nicky reads this he will swear like in Portugal 2006.
Cross my fingers for Hayden to keep above Pedro for the next races and GOOD LUCK to Dovi for 2009. He will need it.

I just read that and was about to come over here and start a thread with a very similar title.
What the f? This guy is a complete .......... I actually slammed down my can of beer as I was reading it. I knew it was bad over there, but Jesus...I can't imagine having to be Nicky tolerating this complete .... and his protege. And it's no wonder Dani is such a sour puss. If this guy was your mentor, could you turn out any other way?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>`All I can say is that Hayden may be bothered because now he can´t access information and telemetry data from Dani´s bike. With this information he was able to improve his riding, as he had all of Dani´s references and now he can´t use that any longer. He was simply copying as he never knew how to set-up a bike. A professional rider can´t be complaining because he can´t get access to the other rider´s data, because finding what works best is his job, not the other rider´s.
Are you serious?!
I hope Nicky ssssssssmokes Dani next season and completely rubs it in. I know he isn't the type of guy who'd do that, but god damn I wish he would.

BTW, the crash.net article is great.

"With this information he was able to improve his riding, as he had all of Dani's references and now he can't use that any longer. He was simply copying as he never knew how to set-up a bike."
But that doesn't seem to be reflected in terms of results. In the three races since the Repsol Honda pits were divided, Hayden has enjoyed his best form of the season - claiming two podium finishes and beating Pedrosa in two of the three races.
Indeed, during the last three rounds, Hayden has scored 47 points, while Pedrosa has managed just 24.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>"Honestly, and without trying to offend anyone, there was never a rivalry in the garage," he said. "Nicky won the title when Dani was in his first MotoGP season, and since then there was no rivalry because he [Hayden] didn't get the results. On his own, Dani gained experience in this class and Nicky was always behind him, so Nicky has never been a serious rival."
Although Hayden hasn't won a race since 2006, he remains Honda's most recent MotoGP champion, with Pedrosa finishing second in 2007 and currently third in the 2008 standings with two rounds to go.
That's pretty much how it would read if I wrote the article. Minus a few obscenities.

Arrogant useless prick, Pedrosa would have been better off without him. I'm going to laugh for days when Pedrosa doesn't win the title again next year and gets booted from the factory team. Hayden should go up to Puig at the season end and hold his hand out and say "good luck next year", then kick him in the balls and walk away laughing.

Puig has no concept of "Team". He knows the only thing Repsol and Honda care about is getting the title. Crush the competition and the personalities. They may get a title yet because Puig is competitive,knows Motogp and pedro has talent. But I hope the mthafckrs never win another race. I personally would never buy another Honda motorcycle and will always cheer against that team as long as they have those personalities in the paddock.
That guy is an absolute arsehole.
Maybe Nicky isn't the best at setting up a bike, but what would he want Peders data for anyway, they have such differing riding styles, surely it would be useless?
And I thought it was in Peders contract, that he has access to all Nicky's data, but Nicky isn't allowed access to his.
Seems like Puig feels the need to lash out when things aren't going his way.
