SuperbikePlanet has an update on the AMA Superbike race this weekend. As of now Suzuki’s Spies and Mladin are 1&2 in qualifying and the track record was broken easily with the new asphalt.
Suzuki’s Ben Spies grabbed provisional pole at Mid-Ohio on Friday, but the 22-year old didn’t hop to the top until the last two laps. Until late in the session, Spies trailed Mat Mladin by nearly seven tenths at one stage.
“I just couldn’t get going and couldn’t get in a rhythm,” said Spies, who was having problems with a few turns on the circuit. “I thought, ‘Man I have to roll through the corner. I am not getting through the corner at all. I’m riding pretty much like an idiot.’ I was getting extremely mad at that point.”
Spies said he was finally able to get through the turn better and make up time. He set a 1:25.330 as his best lap, head of Mat Mladin’s 1:25.442.
Should be a good race weekend-
