Matt Mladin, some cheese with that Whine??
Man, this guy is leading the Superbike class in points and is the reigning champ but he always has something to complain about. After this weekend's race 1 at Mid Ohio, he attributes Miguel's hard charge to 'a motorcycle that suits the rules as his does this year'.
Funny, didn't his bike 'suit the rules' when he won last year, the first year of IL4-1000's? He is totally dismissing Miguel's skill as a rider and is chalking it up to a 'better' bike.
During qualifying Matt and Miguel had an incident where Matt claims Miguel held him up...then proceded to stand and clap for Miguel in a mocking gesture. Can this guy be any more immature? Can he show any less class? *Shrug* just proves what a big baby he is.

There was a similar conversation to this over on the localriders.com website last week. During the coverage of laguna Seca they interviewed him and basically he said that since Migel's bike is so much faster on the straights that he didn't have to ride as hard in the turns. The response to all that was clearly stated at Mid Ohio by a group of fans.

Mladin has been a poor sport since I've been watching the sport. When he looses, he blames something/someone. It's never "Matt's Fault". It's always something/someone else's fault. His bike, his tires, the rules, other riders...etc. I've never seen/heard him accept fault for anything.

Now I wonder if he'll rip his own teammate for hoping for rain like he did Eric Bostrom a couple of years ago.

After watching this weekends race and seeing how utterly dominant the factory GSXR-1000s are, I wanna know if they are subject to a teardown at the end of the race. Mladin won both races by WELL over 10+ seconds. Yates was in 2nd in the 2nd race until tire failure and Spies was tearing up the track as well.
The Hondas, and Ducatis looked utterly lethargic in comparrison. DuHamel was riding the stink out of the CBR, but to no avail. *sigh*, another "development" year? How come Suzuki never has them?

I watched him walk away from everyone at barber in birmingham last weekend, and it was not the bike then!!! He is not my favorite rider though. I like neil hodgson, gotta stick with my Vtwins. Matt is a poor sport and with how long he has been in this series he SHOULD win every race
