Yamaha’s Anthony Gobert has been fined $2500 and put on probation until the end of the 2001 season for his actions against Yoshimura Suzuki’s Jamie Hacking on the cool-down lap after the Laguna Seca 600cc Supersport race.
In an on-camera interview with Speedvision, Gobert said that he tried to knock Hacking down in retaliation for what he viewed as Hacking’s rough riding in various AMA 600cc Supersport races.
Asked why Gobert’s penalty was less severe than the $5000-and-a-point penalty assessed against Mat Mladin for his comments at a press conference during the Loudon AMA weekend, AMA Pro Racing’s Ron Barrick said, “What most people don’t realize is that with Mladin this has been an on-going thing for years. He’s been good for the last year or so, but we’ve been fighting with him over this stuff for years. With Gobert, it’s his first offense.”
Gobert was suspended from three races in 1998 by the AMA, after failing a drug test.
Mladin has been an outspoken critic of the AMA over several issues.
