".....A tenet of racing is that, first and foremost, you must beat your teammate. After all, he’s the only other rider on the same equipment, providing the constants necessary to make comparisons. So, when measuring these two riders against each other, what results is a quandary of equals: Each rider has earned a third-place finish on the same weekend, each rider has qualified on pole at the same track, and on almost every grid, they’re sitting next to each other.

A hard man might say this is so because Eslick and May are equally slow, but an observant man would know that podiums and front rows aren’t given away; they’re earned. Plus, May is currently fourth overall in points against a strong field of European and Japanese machines ridden by capable individuals......"


May:
".....Unlike every other racebike, the whole bike squats, giving it the right pitch for turning. It’s due to the idler gear on the chain. It squats the rear when the front dives under braking, so the bike doesn’t go on its nose. I’ve been on it for two years now, including the 1125, and I’ve never tucked the front.”....."


Eslick's crew chief, Perry Melneciuc:
".....In the last four years, Melneciuc’s Daytona 200 results are: sixth (Barrett Long); second (Dane Westby); third (Jake Zemke); and, of course, first (Joey Pascarella)......"

".....We send in race reports after each event, and EBR is keen to get it done for us, to solve problems. It’s as if they stop what they’re doing and take care of us....."

So he got his wife "super pregnant" as opposed to a "little pregnant?"
