Another rider says "Thanks, but no thanks!"

Sorry, Fellas. I try to ignore Pedrosa as much as possible, so I'm not familiar with this Puig character. Who is he in relation to Pedrosa? Manager, crew chief?

Is Pedrosa unwilling to move from Honda unless the new ride allows Puig?
I think Puig's official title is "Ass Pimple", but he acts as Pedrosa's manager and adviser. He is a very intrusive character and has pissed Honda off to the point of getting banned. The big hang up to Pedrosa re-signing with the Repsol Honda squad was that Honda said they would no longer allow Puig into the Honda Garage. Yamaha was talking with Pedrosa, but they basically said the same thing; any deal with Pedrosa would exclude Puig from the garage. It is unknown whether or not Ducati made the same stipulation, but since Marlboro was pushing hard to find a replacement rider for Stoner, they may have been willing to put up with Puig.
