Nicky Hayden has finally decided to set the record straight regarding a number of Alberto Puig’s accusations, stating that that he’d really prefer not to get into a public cat fight with Pedrosa’s manager, but he did say:
“That wall I couldn’t care less about. It doesn’t even faze me even a little bit. Me and Dani haven’t exactly set the world on fire this year. A team like Honda should work together somewhat, even with your teammate, and certainly with your crew chief.
“Really, some of the stuff he says is a joke about sharing data and that’s why I’m mad. I haven’t seen his data for a long time and the truth is he sees everybody’s data, so be clear about that. So if it’s me going fastest or Dovizioso going fastest, he (Pedrosa) sees everything. I was just proud that two years later, he finally admitted it was Dani’s fault for knocking me down in Portugal! I think he showed real clear what kind of person he is—he’s a rider who had a big accident, threw the towel in, and now he tries to live his career through Dani.”
