Haha! He obviously needed a little help making it through that corner. Nicoletti was probably yelling at him to get off. How do y'all get these photos?!

hah. i actually seen guyb standing in position to catch that on the broadcast. was hoping to see how your 1st turn photos turned out from that angle.

seen mike get bumped...it straightened him out and he got it turned against that wide bank there, came out like 5th/6th or something.

According to Alessi haters, obviously what the picture doesn't show is Tony on the other side holding him up.

There's no such thing as the "Alessi-Scrub". You simply witnessed him practicing for this week's start.

Believe the Hype!

"When doubt, gas it!" Everyone knows that Alessi ain't afraid to gas it in the first turn...

Plus, he's got that super top secret technology!

The dude is an oxe. He's got to be one of the stronger riders out there, so it's no surprise that he just muscles it back into shape.

Mike was just checking Phil's throttle positioning in first turns, the guy never stops trying to get better....

It always amazes me how close these guys get to each other, while pinned out in 3rd/4th gear. They must have a lot of trust in eachother that someone isn't going make a bonehead mistake. This photo is beautiful, and encompasses what moto is all about!

He held on to the throttle and twisted it.
