Six-time Superbike champion Mat Mladin has held his tongue rather well this season, given how much he despises the DMG group and the new AMA Superbike rules. Mladin hasn't said much and about the only way you'd sense how he truly feels is by watching him take off the Daytona cap that was put on his head in victory circle at DIS and launch it with a quick flick of his wrist.
In the post-qualifying press conference yesterday at Fontana, series PR man Adam Saal asked Mladin for commentary as the Jordan bikes seem much more competitive at Fontana than they did at Daytona.
Talk a little about the progress being made by (your competitors) Saal asked Mladin.
"The gap from first to second is 1.3 seconds. I would not call that progress," Mladin deadpanned.
Talk about your bike, Saal asked.
"Obviously, the bike is just better than everybody else's, huh?" Mladin said. "That must be it."
