Matt Mladin (http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2005/may/mladinCol-barb-fon.htm)

Some of my favourite bits.

""Mladin would be getting his butt kicked if we had that bike." I couldn't agree more. Every time I hear the whining, I truly feel sorry for the other riders for Suzuki delivering such a great motorcycle!"

And.

""I'm pretty sure they are using some sort of traction control over there," Bostrom said... This quote is one of my favorites because of who said it. If I was this guy I would be zipping it until I could atleast get the most out of my own bike. Although after reading some of his quotes from the past few years he probably also believes that his bike is not the same as Neils. As a fan pointed out on the weekend. The best form of traction control is a limp right wrist."

Big headed he may be, but fuck he's got some humour. :niceone:

Not bad at all. A good read. :niceone:
Strangely, I like the way he sees things too.

He's a fucken laugh alright, seems he loves winding up the yanks, they seem to bite real easy too. Shame he doesnt move onto WSBK, his whole Yoshi team would be a hell of a package in WSBK esp with the K5., but you cant blame him, hes set up pretty good in the States now and well looked after, why move?

The stuff about him being 7.5% more on full throttle is a pearler.

Sounds like there could be something to these K5's...

If they're (the whole team) that good. Why don't Suzuki jp give them the "factory" MotoGP gig. The current Suzuki team are nothing more than also-rans.

Loved his take on the Jerez race.

Yeah, and WSBK probably wouldn't give him the freedom to also run his business in Australia.
