Don Quixote
Nordic BoTT 2010
AMA på Daytona. Supersport-rejset är redan över. Tommy Hayden på Kawa vann klart
I Superbike verkar Suckorna vara överlägsna förutom N.Hodgson som har kvalat 3a på Duccen.
"Once the Yoshimura Suzuki ace ripped off an incredible 1:38.232, even his closest competitors knew they were beat. Mladin’s teammate, Ben Spies, who qualified second with a 1:38.963, said, “We definitely wanted pole, but we came in and saw that he did a ’38.2. I didn’t think we had anything for that.”
Neil Hodgson, who qualified third in his AMA Superbike debut, added, “I don’t know where Mat found a shortcut. That lap time is very, very impressive. I don’t think most people realize just how quick that is.”
Other than Mladin’s shocking speed, perhaps what stood out most was just how quick the brand-new GSX-R1000s are already. Hodgson’s 1:39.884 aboard his Ducati Austin 999F05 was all that prevented a Yosh qualifying 1-2-3, as third factory Suzuki star Aaron Yates picked up the final spot on the front row, just fractions slower than the Brit (1:39.894).
After qualifying, Mladin remarked, “It went good. Everyone can see we have a great motorcycle this year. To have three Suzukis on the front row is amazing. It just goes to show the strength of the Suzuki, and what they’ve given to us for this year’s race season. I think you’re going to see a lot more of (the Suzukis at the front)."
