2004 AMA SUPERBIKES

• MAT MLADIN (AUS), age 32, Suzuki GSX-R1000
  CHAMPION: 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004; WINS: 32 ; POLES: record 32
  "This win has definitely been a team effort, above and beyond the usual high efforts that my guys put in. I have to thank each of my crew, Yoshimura and Suzuki themselves for the efforts that were made this year. A couple of months ago the championship was very close, but everyone stepped up and that made it a lot easier to get the results we were chasing. The last round at Road Atlanta was pivotal in winning the championship. We knew we had to do well there so that we could set it up here and fortunately for us we came away with a double race win at Atlanta which was perfect "
• AMA WINS RECORD: DUHAMEL, 33 WINS ; MLADIN, 32 WINS;
