From a press release issued by Mat Mladin Motorsports:

WE’RE GOING RACING

Mat Mladin Motorsports is pleased to announce the entry of a one rider Superbike team to compete in the 2005 AMA Superbike series.

The team will run the all new, 2005 Suzuki GSXR 1000 Superbike, which in pre-season testing has already shown its ability to dominate the time sheets.

“Mat Mladin Motorsports is excited about the opportunity to become a part of the AMA series in the Superbike class” said Mat Mladin. “I am looking forward to our first season on the racetrack. In 2005, I will wear two hats, one as defending Superbike Champion trying for a 6th crown and the other as a team owner. I am fortunate to be surrounded by some very experienced and professional people, who will be of great assistance in 2005. We look forward to Daytona, but will approach the first race of the season cautiously as our race program has come together quite late and getting a good solid points base established will be our number one priority. Our rider for 2005 will be the experienced, multi-time Australian Superbike Champion Marty Craggill.”

The team’s debut will be at Daytona International Speedway during Bike Week, for the first round of the AMA Superbike Championship.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to race in the United States for the 2005 season”, said Marty Craggill. “To be associated with Mat Mladin Motorsports for the up coming season has really given me a boost, and I’m excited to be racing the new for 2005, Suzuki GSXR 1000.”

Mat Mladin Motorsports would like to thank, Suzuki, Yoshimura, Joe Rocket and Dunlop for their support for the 2005 race season.

We are also currently talking to many great companies about support for this project and anyone who would like to know more can contact the team via email at: [email protected]
