I'm not so sure he's such a good sport...yet. But I do think he did
an excellent job as teammate during the race. By holding position 7
seconds back he gave Nicky the comfort of knowing he need not worry.
If he had inched closer and closer over the race Nicky would have
known not to worry about Dani but he wouldn't have known if there was
anyone directly behind Dani.
I too think he should have given Dani a nod after the race. Perhaps
after seeing the race on tape he will. Giving a public thanks would
go a long way toward getting the press off their back about some
non-existent (or barely existent) intersquad dissention.
