10p EDT on SPEED.

Ever since he and Duhamel got the blade figured out. There has been no Mat Mladin.

An arrogant what????

Mat who?

The past few races has been an exciting show of team rivalry between Miguel and Jake. Contesting a usual 1-2 finish. But always the crafty veteran (ahh…that would be Miguel) seems to pull out a few tricks and get the top box. It was only recently at the last race in Brainerd, that Zemke was able to earn his first AMA Superbike win. Simply spectacular, for the two of them. Benny in close pursuit, with consistent top 5 finishes.

I like when the Red machines crosses the line first.

Zemke is my favorite ama guy right now (w/ Hayden gone)... He just seems like a cool and down to earth guy...

Any word on what Mladin has come up with for excuses?

After reading the transcript of the press conference over on Soup, my view of Mat has changed a bit for the better.. just a bit. Regardless they are all some-hellova-riders

Talked to Jake a bit once and he's a great guy. Jake and Pridmore are two of the most personable people I've ever met! I'm pulling for him every race! Go Jake, 10 pts to make up!

Any which way you look at it, Miguel is still the man.

I read that transcript also. Mladin takes lessons from Biaggi when it comes to excuses.

His comments about how he lost because he couldn't break away on the straight rubbed me the wrong way. What he was saying is that on even-matched bikes, he won't win. If his bike has more power, then he can... uh... that says a whole lot in itself.

The dude [mladin] is a poor sport

and shouldn't be compared to classy guys such as Jake and Miguel.

yeah I first read about zemke like 3 months ago when I bought my Erion and I looked at the Erion webpage and read the bios on all of their racers, nasty team (too bad roger hayden is riding the kawi now) but I've been behind zemke since I read how he was beating up on everyone in formula extreme on his 929 back when they allowed big bikes in that class, I keep telling everyone he's gonna be so freakin awesome, he's only like what 26 now or something, he's gonna rack up a lot of wins now that he's got the first one out of the way
