Three-time AMA Superbike Champion Mat Mladin went out on his Superbike this morning at Daytona but immediately pitted and declared that he could not ride in this afternoon’s Daytona 200.
Mladin was in too much pain from his left elbow, injured in a crash Friday morning, and decided he could not physically handle the bike at speed.
Mladin underwent surgery to remove bone chips from the elbow Friday night.
