From Racerxill 450 words:

Rockstar/Makita Suzuki’s Mike Alessi bad-started his way into an early hole in both motos, crashing the first time and bending his bike up. The second time out he looked like he might finish second, but then accepted fourth. He also got an uncharacteristic earful from team manager Roger DeCoster after running Tim Ferry up high on a couple of the Hangtown bowl turns.

Shit, he needs to think back to his battles with Hannah before he gets pissy about Mikey doing it!

Maybe he was mad that Ferry was able to ride away.

But with Hannah that was self-defense. Timmy don't lean toward that stuff. My biggest complaint about Mikey has always been that he was too interested in what the other guys were doing, from the Tedesco incident, to all the looking back. I'm guessing RD can tell him when you need to get pushy and when you just ride your own race.

I can tell you this - draw your own conclusions:

A few weeks before GH my good friend was out at Comp edge practicng during the week. The Team Suzuki box van was there as well as RD & Dungey. It was early and Dungey was out spinning laps.

An hour or so later Alessi and his dad show up and pit next to, but not really with the Suzuki rig. Dungey was constantly coming back to the rig, making adjustments and getting advise form RD.

Alessi did his laps and left. My friend said it seemed odd tthat at no time did he ever see Alessi talk to RD or visa versa.

Dungey stayed late and continued to put laps in long after Alessi left...

My guess is Alessi will be looking for a new ride next year.

Being a stand up guy means something for sure, but being a stand up guy like Ryan D and on top of that being a threat for championships is great to see.

MA getting clicked? Hmmm i wonder.. but who could take his place and perform?

Might just want to wait and see how his results turn out for the year before redacting Alessi.

Look at all these speculations and nobody even has any idea what Roger said to him. Do you all work for TMZ? Can't you just enjoy the motoing and quit the teenage girl type gossip crap.

My conclusion is that your friend does not like Alessi.
No one works harder than that kid.

Nothing weird about that, it probably wasn't an Alessi test day and he was just there to put in some laps. Pretty big conclusion drawn from really, nothing.

After two rounds in 07 Alessi was 8th in points, he is currently 5th after 2 rounds. He's off to a better start so far. Big deal, RD had some words for him, maybe it was needed. RD is not the best communicator/motivator of all the team managers.

My friends cousins friend that was parked next to Alessi's truck overheard blah, blah, blah, who cares. I'm not a fan of Alessi but he's got some skills and is riding good, let the season play out a bit and lets see some good racing.

Great stuff Bobby. Bench racing at its best.
