yeah, I know, Eric is fast and so is Mladin. I'm frustrated that the season - whoever you want to count as second best - has really been all Suzuki. Frankly, I think they are all "guns" as you put it. Given a Suzuki I think Eric or Ben would be beating Mladin about as much as he would be beating them. My guess is that the RC51 is going to be replaced and maybe we'll see Ben at his best next year.

As Eric said earlier in the season there is just no competition for that Suzuki out there so it is hard for me to believe Mladin is, all of the sudden, the best rider going. Reminds me of Rossi on the RC211V last year - we've all seen Sete putting it to Rossi on equal terms this year (not to mention Bayliss letting his presence be known at Brno ) and I imagine we will see something similar is US SBK next year.
