From someone who claims to have been present at the press conference (not me) and has video to back up that he waspresent;

It’s my belief Hacking has been suspended and fined BECAUSE he has been outspoken about the DAYTONA class! Yesterday at the podium ceremony, when Jamie Hacking was asked about his thoughts on his 2nd place finish and the race he said: "I won the 600s race." You heard many fans yell out in agreement and some fans continued to yell out throughout the interview their disapproval of the bike disparity. I then caught a few AMA officials talking about the situation that Hacking was creating with his dissenting and controversial comments. The sense I got was they were going to address the issue somehow.

The press conference where Hacking and DiSalvo exchanged words came 15-20 minutes later, and the profanity AMA is reporting was NOT during the interview itself, but as Hacking walked out of the room. I believe the AMA used this as a pretext to censor Hacking for his comments regarding the controversy surrounding the Daytona class.


Sam guy also reports that there is plenty of history between Hacking and DiSalvo who genuinely do not like each other.

Basic opinions from US forums is that Hacking is outspoken about the 1125cc Buell being in teh same race as the 600cc sportsbikes (134bhp for Buell vs 110bhp for 600) plus rules that favour the Buell and other twins.

I like Eslicks' comments that there are other Buells and Aprilia RSV1000s in the race against the 600s but they aren't running up front. Yep, Hacking and Disalvo are ex teammates at Yamaha and Disalvo got the nod over him for a Superbike ride at Yamaha a few years ago, which would have pissed Hacker right off. I think it's good that there are some rivalries brewing - we need more of it here in Australia I reckon.
