He said on the podium that he was ready to go ride another moto. Did he just back it down for the last few laps, because I was watching his lap times and they dropped 4 seconds a lap on the last 4-5 laps, and Millsaps almost caught him. I think the gap at the finish line was barely over a second.

Well said i agree 10000000% you need to repost this in the Note To Alessi thread. He deserves credit. He got my respect, thats forsure. Its just a bunch of geezers talking crap all day online because they have nothing else to do. They dont know half of what mike goes through on a daily basis with training, testing and training some more. So he deserves to be super pumped, even though he didnt get the overall, he didnt care.

You think he goes through more than anyone else? You don't think that other riders are pumped when they win? They still manage to show their excitement without belittling the rest of the field with their comments.

actually yes, I do think he does go through more that alot of the riders. Even his peers have commented on how hard he trains. You dont see Mike out driving Ferarri's, getting tats, jumping ramps and rolling rental cars. The kid rides, and trains like a professional in his sport should. He always seems to come in prepared and focused. When have you ever seen Mike Alessi ever "mail one in" or ride around for a paycheck? As for the excitement on the podium, it seems like people bitch when riders do the plain jane thank the sponsors and god thing, but when Mike actually shows a little heart and a little pride in his results he gets blindsided. Tell me, what could he possibly do (besides firing his dad) that would cause everyone on here to give him props and say "good job" ? I honestly think people on here are haters and no matter what he does he cant win. Has he made mistakes? Yes. Has he made stupid decisions? Yes. But the kid is handling himself like a true professional and lets his riding do the talking. I just think people need to take a step back and be happy for a kid who is living his life doing what he loves and being good at it.
