RAIN DISRUPTS FINAL QUALIFYING FOR DAYTONA 200
Daytona Beach, Florida, USA – Heavy rain has forced the final AMA Superbike qualifying session for this weekend’s Daytona 200 to be cut short just minutes after the start of the session.
The rain has continued through the afternoon, with the likely outcome that the Superbikes will not take to the circuit again today and that the starting grid positions for Sunday’s 57-lap Daytona 200 mile classic will be determined by yesterday’s combined qualifying times.
Australia’s Mat Mladin was only able to complete three laps in this afternoon’s session before the rain started, but will start from the front row of the grid after setting the third fastest time yesterday.
Given the loss of track time this afternoon, the 2000 & 2001 winner of the Daytona 200 was confident with the preparations that have been made to his Team Yoshimura Suzuki GSX-R1000 over the course of this week.
“The rain has definitely disrupted things here today as there are always new things that you want to try on the bike, but we don’t get that chance now,” said Mladin. “I’m happy with how we have progressed with setting up of the new bike this week. This morning we cruised around a bit and checked out some more settings on the bike, but at the moment I’m feeling quite happy with how things are going. All we can do now is wait for Sunday.”
