i was just going to post this up! pretty interesting his speeds...

pretty cool, but not the most dynamic speaker... Plus I am a Yates fan. Great rider and just looks like he'd be cool to hang with.

Also, kinda gives an answer to another thread... will Mladin race for real at NJMP now that the championship is wrapped up... I don't think he'll race at all.

Yup, that's about the speeds I'm running through there. Sounds about right...

i'm actually surprised they get down to 55 for the long left, and 60 for turn 5...

I guess turn 5 really is a second-gear turn, even on a 600. maybe i would have known that, if I had a tach when I rode thunderbolt

:agree: I'm also a Yates fan!

However, it seems as though the way the media has portrayed him, you would have to walk on eggshells when interacting with him. We've all heard the stories of him drop kicking people and other antics associated with racing.

I really appreciated him when he begin riding for MJ motorsports (privateer team) a couple years ago .
