Great race between Zemke and Mladin. Zemke has been surprising this year and looks determined. His inexperience has cost him at least one win and possibly two but he's got brighter days ahead. Mladin is a fantastic rider and you got the sense that he was sizing Zemke up the whole time. It was a Rossi type of race for Mladin (not that I think Mladi or anyone esle is as good as Rossi) where you just waited for the inevitable to happen.

It was a greast race. I liked the way Jake was racing but I can't get past the fact that his brain can't be much larger than a walnut. He just can't seem to learn anything. How many last lap passes will it take before he learns how to manage his tires?

 

[obandoj]

I'm sure your brain is bigger than his and you would have done better! Very stupid statement dude.

 

[obandoj]

Great race, Jake is doing a fantastic job so far, and Mladin? What can you say about him, right now he is the best rider in the championship run. The best thing that happened all day was Mr. "red neck" Yates crashing, not once but twice in the race, now I believe in Karma, I hope he is really sore!

How do you spell Champion? Mladin

For all those idiots like longride, serasuwacko, peebad, BMWprick. Buzglyd and others who think Mladin is not MotoGP character, they should talk to Nicky Hayden who said Mladin would beat most of the crowd in MotoGP. Mladin despite having health problems looks like he is on his way to his 5th championship. When will the Aussie haters like the MO dwarfs (see list above) give him his due credit??

 

[kpaul]

I agree. Yates is paying for it now. Wonder if his team is going to keep him after this year? Plenty of young guns in Supersport and Stock.

 

[kpaul]

I agree that was a stupid statement. Jake knows what he is doing. His bike wheelied out that last curve and that is all Mladin needed. What out for tomorrow.

Re: How do you spell Champion? Mladin

Mladin would get his ass waxed in GP and he knows it, he couldn't make the podium even if he was on a Honda.

Mladin would be lucky if he could beat Norick Abe in GP.

This is Zemke's first year of Superbike and he's already giving Mladin a hard time, and the Honda doesn't look to be nearly as nimble as the Suzuki but surely has more power than Mat's bike.

Mladin the great one

Seems like Mladin is having no trouble with former World Superbike Rider Ben Bostrom. No problem with Eric as well. No doubt Jake is doing well. When are you idiots going recognize his greatness? How many championships will it take? One ? done that Two? done that too, Three? done that as well. Four? right again sherlock, done that as well.

Re: Mladin the great one

I will recognize when he crosses the pond. The best of the best are in GP. At the same time, he is a damn good rider.

Re: How do you spell Champion? Mladin

Mladin is going to wind up like Foggy: all his wins

won't amount to a pile of Sh*t. MotoGP is the only thing that counts as far as reputation goes. People

will say the Mladin was afraid to risk losing and

not being able to make the grade.

"Matt the machine is now Matt the man," said Brian Dreber, Speed Channel commentator.



What does it mean??!!! And why can't they describe a motorcycle going down a straight without saying "...Matt Mladin holding off Jake Zemke using that Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R 1000 horse-power..."

Oh really?! Is that what kind of horse-power they're usin'? I was thinking perhaps the horse-power fairies sprinkled some pixie dust on the hamster and his little wheel.

And hey Ski, it's body LANGUAGE not body english you moron!!

But, oh yeah, great race. I love that track! Those guys were absolutely pushing it. Very enjoyable to watch (emphasis on watch).

 

[Mo0kie]

Hmmm, looks like his tires didn't quite have what it takes on that last lap (again) for race two.



I like his racing, he is amazingly fast. He just goes all out too early in the race and consequently is always going to lose it at the end until he learns to manage his tires for the ENTIRE race.

 

[tonyharrah]

Nope, it's body english. Actually, it's both. They're the same.

Poor Zemke - Race 2

Poor Jake. Got robbed on the last lap again for the third time in as many races. Duhamel got him again on the last lap. He win eventually. It was a shame though that Jake cried about lap traffic, although if memory serves me right, Duhamel passed him where there was no lap traffic and he had to fight through lap traffic as well. All the cry babies in AMA Superbike have me forgot about the glory days of Jerry Springer.

 

[HobbleFoot]

What about body spanish?

 

[kpaul]

Blame it on frustration, he should follow Mladin/Duhamel

I think you can chalk Jake's comments up to frustration. Next time he should follow Mladin/Duhamel around and pass them on the last lap. IMHO its always best to chase rather than to defend a lead.

Re: Hayden: Mladin could make it in MotoGP.

Who knows he may get another chance. His first chance wasn't exactly with a contending manufacturer. See AMA Soup for his history.
