Alberto Puig is not the best in terms of indulgence when it comes to judging his neighbor or taking care of a driver. A real corps sergeant who is currently taking care of the next generation, whether Asian or British. On MotoGP.com, he was asked how he saw the 2017 season on the champions' side and he was true to his reputation by addressing the Vinales case.
Alberto puig has long been the mentor of a Dani Pedrosa whom he accompanied to the summit with iron discipline. So much so that many wondered if he had not become autistic from being around him. The fact remains that since their separation, the same Pedrosa has still not won the world crown in MotoGP.
Exactly, who could wear this crown this year? The rough Iberian comments coldly: “ we are always excited in this pre-season period and last year, even if we expected changes, we saw that in the end, it was the same drivers who were in front. Everything will depend on the type of tires that Michelin will bring ". An analysis which is exactly that of Dani Pedrosa. " This will be the key player of the season ».
« Afterwards, all the drivers will wonder if Rossi is still capable of maintaining his level and I think that if anyone can maintain this for so long, it's him. Lorenzo will have to face a big challenge, he knows he has it, and he is a fighter. He will do whatever it takes. As for Márquez, he is the very type of racing driver, he is a born winner ».
Then comes the case Casa Particular in Viñales. And Alberto puig explains that he will have a lot to play for: “ he is already hungry, and he has set high goals for himself. Last year he didn't have the bike to win, which kind of protected him. But now he has no more excuses. He has to be on the podium and play for victory ". The last word goes to Pedrosa: “ it will try to produce normal results ". Without concession Puig.
