AMA Superbike - Page 5

Matt Mladin won both AMA Superbike races at Infineon quite easily with Ben Spies taking second both races. They are now tied at the top of the points table heading to Road America. I guess that makes Mladin the forgotten Aussie, since this thread has not been bombarded with posters from Oz.

Spies' foot? That a-ok?

Warwick · 3 Jun 2007, 22:02 (Ref:1927950)

Quite a few of us in NZ are keeping an eye on Dominic Jones who is in his second year racing over there and has just got a ride with the NFS team

In his first year he bought a bike and a $800 van and drove all over the place to meetings, doing it all by himself, so it's good to see him get a better ride

jhansen · 4 Jun 2007, 04:21 (Ref:1928069)

Race 2 was a wet race. Spies won, Hacking second, Mladin third. Spies now leads by two points over Mladin.

So I guess Spies is ok after the practice fall...

bestfit · 4 Jun 2007, 12:38 (Ref:1928411)

Good to see an American leading the AMA

jhansen · 4 Jun 2007, 14:33 (Ref:1928496)

Gobert was awesome. He had a horrible start, but charged through and had a nice fight with Hacking. Well, until he blew him into the weeds on the last lap. Great ride!

**gomick** · 5 Jun 2007, 01:35 (Ref:1928965)

i presume he won in the wet jhansen?

jhansen · 5 Jun 2007, 03:21 (Ref:1928993)

Yep he did! At one point he was two, three, four seconds faster than those at front.

Hazza · 5 Jun 2007, 10:35 (Ref:1929204)

Almost has as much talent as big bro...?

jhansen · 26 Jun 2007, 17:08 (Ref:1947424)

It was Spies and Mladin in Race 1 at Miller Motorsports Park. BUT we finally had two Hondas on the podium in Race 2! Oh wait, Spies still won. Yes, he took the double, no actually it was a triple, as he won the superstock race also. Mladin took a bad highside in Race 2 while leading. The race was red-flagged for what seemed like a while. Well it was long enough for Mladin's crew to fix the bike. He re-mounted, started last, and finished fourth. Gutsty stuff, even though the red flag period seemed overly favorable. Points:

1 Ben Spies American Suzuki Suzuki GSX-R1000 382
2 Mathew Mladin American Suzuki Suzuki GSX-R1000 364
3 Jake Zemke American Honda Honda CBR1000RR 293
4 Miguel Duhamel American Honda Honda CBR1000RR 279
5 Tommy Hayden American Suzuki Suzuki GSX-R1000 274
6 Jason Disalvo Yamaha Yamaha YZF-R1 252
7 Aaron Yates Jordan Suzuki Suzuki GSX-R1000 243
8 Jamie Hacking Kawasaki Kawasaki ZX-10R 235
9 Eric Bostrom Yamaha Yamaha YZF-R1 203
10 Roger Lee Hayden Kawasaki Kawasaki ZX-10R 197

**gomick** · 27 Jun 2007, 07:59 (Ref:1947878)

it seems that ben is getting the edge over matt - which, i honestly believe should be the case...

another win for aaron gobert

- was that in the dry

also see that jamie hacking is going pretty darn good on the kwaka 600 in supersport...

jhansen · 27 Jun 2007, 15:11 (Ref:1948182)

Yes, Gobert's win was in the dry.

jhansen · 5 Jul 2007, 20:48 (Ref:1955581)

It's very possible that Neil Hodgson will partner James Ellison for the remainder of the year. He has recently tested the bike. Would love to see him back.

**gomick** · 7 Jul 2007, 01:26 (Ref:1956629)

also read that australian superbike champion jamie stauffer will be racing in the ama superstock class in the final 2 rounds this year

Hazza · 7 Jul 2007, 02:19 (Ref:1956647)

I'm back ni the U-S-S-A!

He was in AMA prior to racing for Kawasaki in Aus a few years ago, wasn't he?

**gomick** · 7 Jul 2007, 03:42 (Ref:1956663)
