So Latus went out and bought a Ducati 848, signed up Steve Rapp, and the team will go racing again this year in the AMA Daytona SportBike class. Title: Re: Rapp back in AMA...on a Ducati Post by: gm2 on February 09, 2010, 11:27:21 AM he did quite well on it @ the fontana test, too..

And I mean that as no disrespect to either rider just the DMG debacle that is now AMA racing in the States. Don't get me started... [bang] >:(

Pegram is a dickhead." Title: Re: Rapp back in AMA...on a Ducati Post by: fastwin on February 11, 2010, 06:40:07 PM A dickhead in what way? Yeah, he may have run 199 mph at Daytona last year but everyone caught up over the season and it wasn't like he won most of the races. Dickhead! WTF? ???

WTF? ??? they had many, uh, moments last year. at one point it looked like they were going to come to blows. Title: Re: Rapp back in AMA...on a Ducati Post by: ducpainter on February 12, 2010, 02:44:00 AM I was hoping mladin would retire and we wouldn't have to listen to his bullshit any more. [puke]
Oh well. Title: Re: Rapp back in AMA...on a Ducati Post by: Jester on February 13, 2010, 12:59:14 AM I was hoping mladin would retire and we wouldn't have to listen to his bullshit any more. [puke] Oh well. I think its the other way around now. Since he's retired, he has nothing to do other than spout off bullshit the entire year. Title: Re: Rapp back in AMA...on a Ducati Post by: fastwin on February 13, 2010, 06:48:48 AM The press loves him, they'll print anything he says. He loves to say controversial stuff and the press loves to print it. He could give bad weather forecasts and it would still make Superbikeplanet or Cycle News. I'm not a Mladin hater by any means, I just liked him more when he was on a bike and the green flag dropped rather than him yaking to reporters in the pits. I will side with him about DMG though.

I will side with him about DMG though. except (other than twitter maybe) he really only gives an opinion when asked. and i don't think he says anything to be controversial; he just says what he thinks. mat's world is evidently very black and white. in other words, the opposite of a fox broadcaster.

Title: Re: Rapp back in AMA...on a Ducati Post by: gm2 on February 16, 2010, 11:19:47 AM depends on who he's paired with to "egg" on in the extraction of his opinions.... where/when have you seen this? i've only ever seen him (apparently) speak his mind, including not taking the bait when an interviewer gets.. bait'y. true i like him but i'm not defending the guy. i can understand why he rubs some the wrong way. but i've never seen him be 'egged' out of his position. -- this doesn't include mental warfare on other riders.

That's a good way to put it. I agree with you and my post wasn't very clear. He's not a blabber mouth, he just says it like he sees it (when asked) and sometimes his comments step on some toes. His world is very black and white and if it bothers you then too f#@king bad. I just think the press loves asking him stuff hoping to get a fireball reply. Anyway... back to Rapp and Ducati.
