AMA Suzuki Superbike Team Challenge

Who will win the AMA title? Who cares? It's not like America is rooting for one or the other. There's not a hugely passionate fan base for either rider (at least that I can detect). If Spies wins it, so what? He had the championship in the bag, but has been riding as of late like his testicles were made of glass. He was abruptly reminded that they weren't, at Road Atlanta, when he flipped off the bike while snaking through that silly section of curves that serve no real purpose but to make the bikes look like they're on a slalom run. You can't pass there, so the only hope is that you crash, I guess. Spies took a nice shot to the jewels in that crash which was good. Perhaps it'll wake him up in time for Laguna Seca.

Mladin rode like he wants the championship that he supposedly knows nothing about. His coy on camera antics are as tiresome as usual. Just quit being yourself Mat. Just for once. Then maybe someone will care that you've won the title again. Or maybe not.
