People always say Alessi was never a supercross guy and all that but he obviously was a holeshot and top 10 or top 5 guy in 09. I really hope the guy gets on a 450 again and goes back to winning.

That doesn't even look like the same person anymore! He had the confidence that he could run up front and wasn't afraid to do it. Where did that Mikey go?

Yes. A holeshot is all about timing. Horsepower is secondary if you get off the gate first.

On that track? No chance in hell!!
Alessi was SOOO Much better on that RMZ450 it's not even funny.
On a very short start anything can holeshot, but in this video and track...HP rules, and the 350 doesn't have it.

Go to Min2 and see how a 250cc beats all other 250cc and 450cc's and takes a Holeshot!

PS: Bad quality I Know ...

Kind of odd we have to look at holeshot photo's from last may to see a KTM holeshot.

what colour is the guard in front of poto?



speaking of poto here's a holeshot on a 250f against 450's on a deeply disced start oh and cairoli right behind him also on a 250f...



come on bobby I know you know power doesn't equal a holeshot
the power of alessi's bike has nothing to do with his lack of holeshots.. I feel sorry for him he seems to be always in damage control mode when interviewed these days and completely lacking in confidence

Exactly, didn't anyone else notice the crappy jump he got on the start this last weekend. There is more wrong with his starts than just the 350.
