erm....racing motorbikes!?

[hornetrider]

Well yeah. What I mean is it looks like he's racing SuperSport... its a bit obscure dontcha think? OK I'm not the leading expert on bike racing but it seems a bit mickey mouse is all.

[Darranu]

Bit like Chris Walker racing in world supersport, I know teams need development riders but surly younger riders should be in these classes ie feeder series up to world superbikes.
When they can no longer run at the top level due to the young wipper snappers kicking there ar*e it's time to retire

he races in AMA superbikes aswell

[Exige46]

AMA has produced and attracted some great riders in the past. The vast majority of top American SBK and MotoGP have come through AMA, along with a few other starts, such as Corser, Polen, Scott Russell, Edwards, Duhamel, the Bostroms, Anthony Gobert, the Haydens, Jon Kocinski, Bayliss (briefly). The money is very good and the unambitious (Mladin) can make one hell of a living without having to step up to Worlds.

neil wasnt too much of a slouch on the 08 blade either, and with ten kate getting a grip on there bikes and us going fastest in testing looks like the uglyblade is going to turn out just fine........

[Chipchap]

Did anyone notice a 40yr old Scott Russel in 18th. Albeit 5 secs off Mladin

[custardtart]

I'd love to see hodgson back in WSB but I'd also like to know why Mladin, who has dominated AMA for a while, isn't in a World Series?

3 posts up, same answer

[hornetrider]

Indeed. What can be the appeal in winning year after year after year, surely he'd want to seek a new challenge?

I didn't realise Hodgson was running 2 bikes - I asked my first question based on seeing his time on a 600RR.

[y2blade]

watch it all live...2.5 hours on motors tv tomorrow eve

well worth watching, i watch it on tv every year

yanagawa is still quick too.

Plus Scott Young, a privateer all the way from Scotland, is in there too. Living the dream!
