http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2005/may/mladinCol-barb-fon.htm As much as I root against the guy, you have to give him credit for at least being able to back up his arrogant statements (unlike Edwards in MotoGP). Personally I hope he gets a MotoGP or WSB ride he can't refuse next year, just to see how good he really is. He likes racing in the US (and makes too much money) to go to a second-rate team from the Yoshimura Suzuki team. Some competitors are accusing Suzuki of secretly using traction control, this is the sticker he now has on his bike... Image Unavailable, Please Login
I grudgingly admit he's the real deal. A few years back I saw hin at Laguna Seca wearing the popular " Anybody but Mladin" T-shirt.
My favorite Mladism in the article is in reference to prima donna riders and the teams that babysit them: "They don't dare say the wrong thing to the rider, like 'maybe it's time you pull your finger out of your behind and ride the bike for all it's worth'. Oh no don't say that, cause if you do the little God might get upset." I just wish Schumacher would smack down Button in the same way...
