Superbike - Suzuki: Mat Mladin returns to Motoamerica SBK this weekend

Press release available only in original language. 

Australia’s seven-time AMA Superbike Champion Mat Mladin is back in America as a special guest at this weekend’s joint MotoGP™/ MotoAmerica #event at the Circuit of The Americas in #austin, #texas

Mladin, who won all his titles #racing for Yoshimura Suzuki Factory #racing, holds just about every record in MotoAmerica/ AMA Superbike #racing history, including the most championships (7), most wins (83) and most poles (50). He was also a major safety advocate during his #racing days and successfully pushed the series to adopt higher safety standards. Mladin has only been back once to attend a race in America since retiring from #racing in 2009 and moving back to his native Australia. 

Mladin is coming to America to have an old ankle injury repaired and decided to make a few stops along the way, including COTA, as well as a visit with motocross legend and fellow pilot Bob Hannah. 

“It's going to be good to get back into the paddock this weekend at COTA,” Mladin said. “It’s been a long time and I’m looking forward to seeing friends from my #racing days. After the race weekend we will be Idaho bound to catch up with my old friend Bob Hannah and maybe kick his butt a little from the pilot’s seat in the back country. 

“From there I head back to California to have my ankle fused by a surgeon that fixed me many times back in the day, my friend, Dr. Thomas Bryan.” 

Mladin said he also has a visit to the Yoshimura R&D race shop planned before returning home.
