Mladin's an asshole...

It only comforts him...

and gets him no ride.

Pitt's first championship was a joke. Pitt's second championship was a little more convincing but on a Ten Kate Honda in WSS, well, you usually only have to worry about your team mate.

I'll give you that he knows the tracks, I'd also point out that Mladin has compared favorably to the top WSBK guys at Philip Island tests when they've all run together.

Mladin has some pretty good development chops too.

I think it's money & ego. I think it'd make sense for Mladin to run in the Yosh Suzuki team except that it's a totally different team. Whatever, he's damn fast and *if* he could learn the tracks half as quick as Spies (maybe he uses animals too?) he'll be a way better bet for wins than Pitt.

it's not like i'm arguing for pitt.. i'd love to see mat there.  i'm just saying that is probably near the line of thinking.

besides, pitt did get 5th in the wsbk championship in '06.  seven podiums and one win.

5th in '06 is pretty good I guess.

Mladin is better. Grin

Is there ANY chance a Kawi can run up front in WSBK (not talking WSS, where they're competitive)?  I mean, seriously.

supposedly with the release of the 2010 or 2011 zx-10r, yes.  supposedly. 

that fact/promise/fantasy is part of what they 'got' Vermeulen with.

all that talk yesterday about Charpentier and JD had me thinking that that Salom guy was SOL, since they already signed Chaz.  the solution: 4 bikes.

disalvo interview after the portimao test.

interesting to hear him talk about the track, around minute 4 of the first segment.  ...puts in perspective even more The Ben's first trip there on nori's R1.
