Mat Mladin Joining World Superbike Paddock?

Mladin mentioned something on his Twitter account about receiving several offers from World Superbike teams - and making some tough decision. Considering he insisted that he left the DMG/AMA paddock to spend time with his family, I wouldn't think he would be interested. Being in a worldwide series would keep you away from your family for most of the year...

This looks more and more likely now. He has been linked to a BMW satellite effort. He didn't retire for his family, he retired because he detests racing under the DMG leadership - and who can blame him?

Another update; this one says that Mladin may test the S1000RR in Australia. It also makes some arguments against his joining of the WSBK paddock.
