From the Spanish press via es.charla.moteros:

Rossi: "Honda's problem is that they have a little fighting rooster in the
team that was battling to be all of 5th in the championship, and the guy who
was in the lead was not receiving proper attention from the team manager. We
saw this coming. Dani always tries to win, but he has to overexcert himself
to pass, gets tired and makes mistakes."

Tired in the 5th lap already? Nice one to get under Pedrosa's skin,
Valentino... :-)

Hayden: "If Dani had been going for the title, I would have treated him like
fine glassware."

Capirossi: "There's not a single rider that would do something like that to
his teammate. Nicky ought to chop Pedrosa up into little pieces." (Really
Loris "The Harada Missile"? I seem to recall you and Harada were in the same
team :-)

Melandri "To be brought down by your own team mate makes you wonder - we can
truly state there are no team orders in Honda."

Heh, "He coulda taken all them Honda's out at once!" (The Motegi bowling
move)

Ayup, but the problem is, no one is at the helm of the big red boat
either...

What better way to make sure that Pedrosa goes after Rossi in the next race,
feeling more emotional and less inclined to be -if he truly intends to- a
disciplined soldier to the Hayden cause. Rossi probably knows where the
biggest risk is, thus he tries to drop a wrench into a Honda team engine
that tries to splutter into action at the last desperate moment...

Yeah, Edwards holding back so much for Rossi's benefit that he's running 8th
in the championship. Guess the strategy was to get himself lapped so that he
could have a late influence on the top result? That brilliant Yamaha
strategy thinktank! :-) 8th in the championship, by the way, would have been
a result sure to generate a lot of scorn in this NG if Edwards' name started
with "C" and ended with "heca", eh? :-)

I didn't see that at all, I saw Colin trying to hold them off while Vale got
away, trouble was, he couldn't and if that alone doesn't get him resigned,
nothing will...
