Race day #1 at Mid-Ohio and the rain stayed away as predicted altho the morning was pretty chilly. No DSB Superpole yesterday threw off at least one rider. To learn who, check out today's Twitter report:

@DamoCudlin Up and at em this morning, havin a cup of tea and scrambled eggs. Thanks Amz. Overcast again here, rain forecast during the day... We'll see

@OnTheThrottleTV No global warming Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. Must not be in the local text books yet. Temp is "unseasonably cool," said the weather service

@jp43 Unseasonably cool here @ Mid O. Jordan boys 2nd and 3rd yesterday. @MatMladin 9th! dont think that will last somehow.

@23race Rider down was Dave Anthony who finished the session in P3. He's being loaded in ambam now to be checked out. Looked 2 b ok but shaken up.

@OnTheThrottleTV Danny Eslick took Sportbike pole and didn't even know it was qualifying. He was just out there for practice.

@DamoCudlin Just qualified 19th. Think I'm happy with that? You'd be wrong...

@chazdavies P9 in qual. Crap. Red flag came out just as I started on the soft tyre so no chance 2 get a run. Gonna be an interesting race....

@23race Always a good crowd here at Mid-Ohio. Here's the crowd in T6 watching Moto-GT

@MatMladin AMA/DMG have broken so many of their own rules this wknd. The Buell is just 1 in a long list. Yamahas own rules also. Hitler wld b proud.

@23race Yates was right on Hayes with 4 left and then hit Johnny Rock. Yates balked bigtime and lost ton of ground.

@MsXXFAST Now on to DSB with the same bike, I don't know how he turns around and races again right after, Must be the MotoGT (ST) experience

@23race Results are Hayes. Yates. Mladin. Bostrom. Pegram. Hayden. Young. May. Holden.

@BenBostrom Congrats to Hayes&Yami team. Bravo to Yates & M squared. Both rode great too.Matts bike looked unfriendly on the front. 2moro is my turn tho

@Tommy24racing balls

Another rare non-Mladin win today. Josh Hayes led for most of the race, with Aaron Yates bearing down on him as the race wound down. Unaware of what was going on behind him Johnny Rock Page inadvertantly held up both leaders with Aaron Yates losing more time of the 2.
