"We're impressed and very proud of Neil for doing so well in his first AMA qualifying session against some very strong competition," said Parts Unlimited Ducati Austin Team Manager Tom Bodenbach. “We'll see how the race goes, pace-wise, but otherwise we're in pretty good shape for the race.”

.or gamesmanship ( bullshyt to you and me)!;)

I thought you were paying attention!
There are two 749R,s out there.They qualified in 23rd and 30th!

I thought formula extreme was the 1000cc jap fours etc...........not 600 class:puzzled::puzzled::puzzled:

Yeah, you're right sparkin. Tremendous race. It should be a good championship this year.

One step closer to my £20 then ...

:smug:

Got MotorsTV on now,and it it 600cc class:o:puzzled:
I thought it was 1000cc,was it ever 1000cc`s or am I always wrong?

Ducati Austin’s Neil Hodgson made an extremely impressive debut as an AMA Superbike full-timer. The 2003 World Superbike champ shook free of a talented group of pursuers on lap 6 of 15, and then proved to be the only man capable of keeping Mladin honest during the middle and latter stages of the contest.

“I’m glad to have gotten that one out of the way,” the British hero said afterwards. “Everybody’s got a little bit of testing planned and then we’ll go to the next round. I'm really pleased. Last night when I was in bed if someone would have said, ‘You’ll finish second,’ I would have taken it. I’ve got mixed feelings inside; you feel happy to have gotten it out of the way and taken some good points and then you feel sick because you didn’t win.

“Unfortunately, Mat was just too quick. Everybody warned me; they said, ‘Watch out for Mat, he’ll go really quickly in the beginning.’ And he did, so I got caught with my pants down. But I don’t think I could have stayed with him anyway.”

The move he made at the start didn't endear him to Mladin thats for sure :frog:

Hodgy did well, and it was good to see him back on a podium, but I hope our TV broadcasting doesn't ever get like the Yank TV. Even the on bike cameras were sponsored with graphics on the screen everytime FFS.
As for the cutting between the Live broadcast and the voice of Motors TV man.............Neil Hodgeton on a Ducati 99r.
:puzzled:Must have said it 5 times.
Still, I reckon the Yanks will take to Hodgy well. Not sure Mladin likes his starts though:D
