The Valencia showdown : Dani the sockcutter speaks.
Quote:
Pedrosa responds, pledges full Hayden support. Having been branded the 'team-mate from hell' for taking out MotoGP championship leader Nicky Hayden in a clumsy collision at Estoril, Dani Pedrosa has pledged to be the American's best friend in Sunday's Valencian title showdown.
Full article and interview on Crash.net - their links are a pain in the ass. Just go over there and read it. Especially how Alberto Puig had podboy convinced he'd make up 50 points in two races.


I'm predicting Nicky will beat Rossi, but Rossi will win the title, and Senor Cooperation will be a non-factor.

Same interview is on Motogp.com, under the improbable title,

"Pedrosa: As always we will show teamwork."

The only reason that little speck of flyshit has said he's sorry and wants to help is because he knows it is bad for HIS career to not appear sorry.

His actions, and then reaction, told the whole story.

My money's on Rossi but it would be an amazing victory for Hayden and I'd love to see him take it.

Either way, it's gonna be a hell of a race. What a season.

What's wrong with cutting socks - other than you'd have to go buy new ones after that?

Nothing that I know of, in fact I really enjoy having my sock cut as often as possible, especially if the cutter is skilled. I highly recommend it...

Just read the entire interview on MotoGP... So Dani's plan was to win both races and hope Nickey and Rossi crash out. Nice thinking for a team mate eh?

If they cut one sock, they're pretty much a sock cutter for life...

It will be interesting to say the least. Edwards will become a school bus out there and I truly hope that Dani can learn from him. Dani should take lessons from CEII. The only reason that CEII is going to be back in MotoGP next year is because he's a great teammate, he understands his role within the organization and does what it takes weekend after weekend to gain points and help Rossi.

Like King Kenny said, "time to suck it up and go out there fighting" Come-on Nicky, leave nothing on the track this race....

Don't you think that Dani is in a different position than CE?
Dani has NEVER been told he was a supporting rider. But I'm pretty sure Repsol will have that conversation with Nickey before next year starts.
Dani will be a team mate in Valencia so that Nickey has an easier time being Dani's team mate next year.

Nickey was a crash artist in his first two years in MotoGP. He did not even come close to winning his first year. Dani has done it twice (?), I think. And I don't see Dani continuing his crashing ways. So take the DNFs away and what do you think Repsol will get? A spanyard with a Tital.

Re: The Valencia showdown : Dani the sockcutter speaks.
All of that Crash Artist aside, Nicky has been in the top 5 in championship points every season, exp his second year and he was sixth. Last year he was third, this year he can do no worse than second. He is consistantly one of the fastest guys on the track, and he may not win every race, but he's almost a certain podium everytime. Something that Podbot needs to work on.

Dani is phooked next year at Laguna

Nickey has shown improvement every year. I just think that it will be hard to improve any further on the team he is with only because of politics and racism.
