Nope, didn't expect you to say you didn't like him because he's french.
As far as some of your points...
Cocky in interviews - if you or I were to give an interview in something other than English, hard telling what kind of douchebags we'd sound like trying to do an interview in French. Based on how poor his english is, I never gave a second thought to how he sounded in interviews as most of the riders are just saying the same stuff anyways..."thanks redbull, thanks honda, thanks to my girlfriend, blah blah blah".
Valley Yamaha controversy - Like me, you may have heard different stories on what happened between VY and CP. I don't know who to believe but CP's angle was that they hadn't supplyied him with a practice bike to practice on at his home in Florida as they had agreed to. Since I'm not privvy to the details, I'm not going fault one side or the other....to me, it's just a relationship that didn't work out.
Bike breaking down - are you referring to the mechanical DNF that was the hinging point in the series that determined there was no way he could win the championship after that DNF. I personally can't fault him for being upset over that.
I personally just find it hard to call anyone out as being an azz when I don't know all the details/circumstances going on with them.
