Verkar som att HRC kommer ge bestraffningar till vissa innom HRC efter händelen på Estoril mellan Repsolförarna. Tsutomu Ishii (HRC General Manager) nämns som en som kan vänta sig bestraffning. Alberto Puig sägs bli bortplockad från sin roll som Pedrosas "team chef".
Alberto Puig
"Dani had a mathematical chance, so who would obligate him not to race?" "He crashed because the other rider [Hayden] braked early, and he had to turn in. If that didn’t happen, he wouldn’t have crashed. Dani was going fine, and on the previous lap, Hayden had hit him….I know it's fatal for Honda and for Nicky, but it could have happened to anyone.”
