Ok some friends of mine and I were discussing the super human leap Alessi had on the semi's race. Then got caught in the gate in main like something didn't work this time. So we all know Alessi is a good starter but we also know Alessi's family history in trying to get an advantage somehow how against the rest. Here are some conspiracy theories. Obviously he could just have the wit and reaction of a superhuman or we can start analyzing maybe the Alessi camp has been studying the starting gate and found a way to, I hate to say this word "cheat". I am not a hater nor a fanboy. But as a technical person there is all sorts of possibilities. What do you all think. I'm really curious to see what happens at Phoenix in his starts now and maybe analyze the gate drop a little closer in slow motion, call me crazy. Guess this topic hasn't been on the radar because of his finish. So..
For example:
Tiny sensor disguised or part of the hole shot device that sense tiniest movement in the gate arm and could be a signal to a tiny light or audio sound in his helmet or clutch pin release in the lever. Who knows. Even I could build this with all the electronic parts available to consumer now. By the way they are for sale for $499.99 if you want on from me.
We even discussed how interesting Emig called out maybe Alessi was doing a count down. They thought is was suspicious.
Light this thread up.. Or reply with the biggest super human bitch slap..

They simply watched races from other years and said "Gates goes in 3 seconds" Or whatever.
Counted and dumped clutch and got lucky. In drag racing its called a perfect light.
Who's to say the starter this time said Im counting to 5?
The Shop
Alessi had a count and went for it and it worked the first time. He probably just count a little fast in the main.
theory" one could possibly buy into. ...and I would buy into this one, if we see more perfect starts and/or stuffed gates. I certainly wouldn't put it past him. It isn't cheating per "letter of the law" if you will, but it is sort of cheating per "spirit of the law"
but your idea of a timing light or buzzer is ignorant. Why would watching a light or listening for a buzzer give you any advantage over just directly watching the gate pin? if anything you'd be adding a delay.
Solved.
The only reason Mike did it is they find a way to cheat/get the most out of the system. Change it. Simple.
Sad thing is he's good enough not to do that to just get a good start anyways. He looked like a jackass counting and hitting it in the main.
So Alessi is cheating ....WOW, you guys are really bored or really don't like him
is a baseball player guessing a curve ball cheating too?
Here's another great Alessi holeshot. If you watch it frame by frame you can see he's already moving before the gate has hit the floor.
Pit Row
Alessi has unreal starts, and everybody knows this... Trying to look for a reason to bad mouth him, is Beyond ridiculous.
If the man can time it, So fucking be it. maybe the other riders need to learn from him.
You know how many holeshots ive gotten from timing gates in videogames?? More than anybody can imagine... so if he can pull it off in real life, kudos to him.
as you see though, he tried his timing again in the main... and boom (stuck in the gate)... puts your damn conspiracy theory's to bed.
btw, in all my years of racing I NEVER got caught in the gate. Not even once.
