Quote:Things were warm at the Thursday press conference though. The Spanish press has decided that Valentino Rossi's clumsy rostrum celebration last weekend that saw him sit on a chair was a dig at Dani Pedrosa, who spent most of the weekend being ferried around in a wheelchair to avoid pulling the stitches in his knee. Rossi denied this before anyone had asked him a question. The staff of Spain's Solo Moto mag are wearing t-shirts with a drawing on the back of Dani in a wheelchair carving inside a puzzled Rossi. Some of Dani's team have threatened retribution, in this season or the next. It almost overshadowed the same mag's story on Kawasaki which was titled 'Eckl Bastardo'. The team manger is Harald Eckl.
What is Dani's team going to do, pelt Rossi with pudding snacks?
