Pedrosa takes swipe at Hayden's development skills

Diminutive Spaniard slates teammate at Honda press conference

HONDA MotoGP star Dani Pedrosa has spoken for the first time since his horrific crash during testing on Tuesday that left him with a broken right hand and his number one bike a fireball.

Pedrosa appeared at the press conference alongside Dr Xavier Mir and said:

"I still don't know what happened to cause the crash. I think that is was something on the bike that maybe failed. The team are looking for some data from the bike that might indicate the something that happened to cause the crash."

But Dani also hit out at team-mate Nicky Hayden and the former World Champion's ability to develop the 2008 RCV, saying:

"I am worried about recovering quickly from the injury. I want to get back on the bike as soon as possible. Historically, Nicky has not been very beneficial when he has taken on the responsibility to evolve the motorcycle."

Ooooooh, bitchy...
