Whoever lined up the seating arrangment for Thursday's press conference must've known something like this would happen. When asked about riding the 350, and the advantages against the 450, Mike Alessi said, "It's hard to say. It's a completely new motorcycle. Right off the bat I'm 100ccs less than everyone else. A lot of people think the starts are going to be affecting me..." About that time the crowd started chuckling loudly, because Mike's nemesis from last season, Josh Grant, was sitting next to him smiling and nodding his head vigorously. Yep, the psyche games have already started. Call it game on for the 2010 season.
