Mladin is in the States to win championships for Suzuki period, not make friends with fans or riders who threaten his goals. Whatever it takes mate, seems to be his motto. He doesn't care what you or anyone else thinks about him. If it takes bullying other weaker riders, causing controversy, playing mind games on the track or in the press so be it- as long as he accomplishes his goals it doesn't matter if it's "legal", friendly, or sportsmanlike.
Prime example: blocking Ben Bostrom during qualifying three seasons ago so he could get the extra point, Colorodo round I believe. Anyone remember? Legal? Dirty and unfair? Too bad, he doesn't care, as long as he wins doesn't matter to him. He has to win championships no matter what it takes, and take his millions back to Australia- new home, Suzuki dealership, etc. Doesn't matter how he played the game, just so he WINS. Right?
