So easy to be an asshole from behind a keyboard. An actual pro posts on our board and gives his perspective and he gets the typical Vitard treatment. Guess everyone that posts here has never fucked up before and is perfect. Good to know. Thanks for not letting this shit get to you Jeff and for your continued posting
Well I am pretty sure I have never been arrested for assault with a Walmart rake, that one had Jerry Springer show written all over it. Laughing

Hmmmmm, interesting. It would appear the only part of a horses anatomy that was involved in this post, would be the part at the utmost extreme opposite end of said horse. I've taken the liberty of making the necessary corrections, so you'll at least APPEAR remotely educated, in basic English, spelling,grammar, and punctuation.

Really? From what I heard from "the horses mouth", Faciotti took Mike out in the second corner of the first moto, and Mike came from dead last to third place. In the second moto, Mike returned the favour, and raced his race. Also, Hill stalled his bike, he didn't crash, which means Mike couldn't have been down more than 8 seconds from his first turn take out.

Feel free to take a screen shot of this, for future reference. Also, I see burgers and fries in your future, once you come to the realization that it's "over". LOT'S of burgers and fries. Wink
Hey Scooter.... Awesome job on all the gramatical issues.... To bad you're an inconsiderate prick. You're talking shit about someone you don't even know... That say's way more about you then it does the Alessi's. Ya feeling me puuummpkin.

An interview with Facciotti after the race.

Interesting to hear Mike looked over at him and then proceeded to take him out. Colt thought it was dirty and Bobby Kiniry, someone who is know to be very aggresive even thought it was dirty. Good job Mike. Way to help that reputation

I couldn't help but notice a bit of hypocrisy in that interview...at the end, he justifies an aggressive pass on Kiniry (where the only reason they both didn't go down was because Kiniry-the guy getting passed-was a "professional" and let off and let him by)...but at the beginning of the interview he calls alessi dirty for doing the same thing to him (where if he-the guy getting passed-had been a "professional" and let off and let alessi pass him, he wouldn't have gone down).
Interesting, that does sound like a dirty little trick, he must enjoy having the target on his back !
Could make for some good series drama though, I like it

I doubt it that the Canadian National Motocross series has ever been given this much publicity or conversation south of the Canadian border. Mike Alessi is bringing recognition to the series like it never has before. Alessi's sponsors are given name recognition both in the United States and Canada. Not bad for a non-factory supported organization. Most riders/keyboard specialists will never have the commitment and confidence to beat factory riders or finish 2nd overall in a 450f National MX series. Maybe Mike went to Canada to get away from all the whining from the bleacher bitches. I could have told him that was impossible.

I was just going to say the same. It's not too often you get a 4 plus page thread about a rider in the Canadian series on this site. Whether some guys want to admit it or not, Mike is bringing more exposure to the Canadian mx series. And why didn't Metty get bashed so much for racing up north? People sure are hypocrites.

Who's bashing him?Not me,and not most here-just trying to discern the reasoning behind it I think.As much as I'm glad he's here so I can see him race in person, I know if it were me and I figured I'd have a shot at a consistent top 5 or so in the US series,I'd take that over a realistic championship shot here.
Metcalfe isn't a yank and never had the "hype" of Alessi so it's not a realistic comparison.

I've said it before..."What is it that a non-factory rider like Alessi have to prove in the United States or Canada?" He didn't go to Canada in search of a ride. He has broad name recognition. His strength is outdoors and he just finished one of his most successful SX series. He is the fastest non factory racer in North America. I don't believe Canadian fans are bashing him and appreciate Alessi and Hill racing in the Canadian MX Nationals.

I was thinking the same thing, the interviewer set him up for it.

Also wonder why he didn't bring up the first moto incident where he supposedly put Mike down.

that was an agenda piece.

Your point is invalid, especially the last bit of your post. See Colt was passing Alessi up on the inside of a roller section into a corner...NOT Mike passing Colt. The Kiniry comment Colt said there was no contact, and room was left...ie: no take out given or attempted.

HaHa well it was done by MXP, Canada's terrible and sadly only motocross mag, when you get your CMRC license up here you can get a subscription for a loonie, and honestly its not worth the dollar. Its full of lols and inside jokes that only people "in the know" might get and leaves normal fans scratching their heads, it might be better now that Ryan Gauld isn't editor but its still second rate....... Bring back RacerX Canada!!!!!

yes bring back RXC

I think all of us Canadian mx fans can agree that regardless of what he does or says MA800 is giving our series great publicity , that being said I just listened to matthes interview with Mike on Pulpmx and Mike had nothing but good things to say about the series so far . I 'm just excited to see how things pan out as the series heads east

Bagged a fatty? Most of you on this thread act like you just smoked a fatty!! Laughing

Seriously though, I hope Mike does well up North. He loves to race, and can probably make more money racing the Canadian series than he'd stand to make in ours this year with how deeply the 450 class is stacked. If he can do that, plus get some traction for his sponsors at the same time...everybody's happy.

Not a realistic comparison? They're both roughly 5th place riders in the USA. They have about the same speed. Only difference is Metty is Australian. I understand you personally would rather take 5th in the USA over 1st in canada..... and that's the beauty of living in a free country. He chooses what HE wants to do, not what you want him to do and vice versa.

Here's a theory on his decision. Maybe he realizes he's a 5th place guy here and figures he will honestly never win a 450 championship. Why not do something to help another series gain recognition while potentially grabbing a championship. He's already burnt his bridges here so make a move, help gain attention to a smaller series, attract more fans, do great things and turn his career around in another country. By doing this it'll attract more sponsors which will make him more money in the long run. I wish Mike all the luck in the world. Although his brother and dad have done some seriously bone headed things in the past, Mike has kept his nose pretty clean (other than some questionable pass attempts)

I am literally speechless. I actually agree with you.

I love to bag on Mike and Jeff. The bottom line though, motoconcepts is a big time team, and they do it on a world class level, pending any injuries, there's no way he doesn't win the title.

I will say, how the heck did mike not SMOKE both holeshots?

I am confused about that: if Colt is passing Mike on the inside, how did Mike take his front wheel out. He must have been ahead at some level to do that (not that I am defending him - he's done plenty of chicken shit moves for sure).

Is the footage online? I'd love to actually see it. Gotta love the drama! I wish we had some in our nationals.

I've always assumed that if someone has a wheel on me, I'm the one that has to let off. So if Alessi had a wheel on Colt and moved over to protect the line, in my opinion Colt is the one that should let off and be the "professional" and give up the line.

I'm with you, I haven't seen any footage of it...so I'm just speculating...

Although his brother and dad have done some seriously bone headed things in the past, Mike has kept his nose pretty clean (other than some questionable pass attempts)
Nope,it's not.Metcalfe is,and has always been pretty under the radar relatively speaking.The circus surrounding MA most of his career has certainly garnered lots of attention,though not all good of course.It's only natural then that MA coming here would be talked about much more.
I never said what I thought he should do.Fwiw,I think he should come here,as should RV,RD,JS etc so I could watch them race.I have my doubts my opinion would sway them though.
I really doubt though that his motivation is to help gain attention to a smaller series.As I said,most are curious as to his reasons for the move-not critical of it.No,I wouldn't have done it,but then nobody would go anywhere to watch me ride either.
I hope he and all the other riders stay healthy this year,and that they fight to the end-and he loses to CF.Cool

Then I stand corrected...I thought Alessi was passing Cole. My mistake.

I am confused about that: if Colt is passing Mike on the inside, how did Mike take his front wheel out. He must have been ahead at some level to do that (not that I am defending him - he's done plenty of chicken shit moves for sure).

Is the footage online? I'd love to actually see it. Gotta love the drama! I wish we had some in our nationals.

I've always assumed that if someone has a wheel on me, I'm the one that has to let off. So if Alessi had a wheel on Colt and moved over to protect the line, in my opinion Colt is the one that should let off and be the "professional" and give up the line.

I'm with you, I haven't seen any footage of it...so I'm just speculating...
Exactly, Titan. I am speculating too, but just based on what's been said here it don't add up. You have to shut off or be ready to be dumped. If you go down, you can't be mad at anyone except yourself.

Really? Cause from the "horses mouth" I was told facciotti took mike out corner 2 of moto 1 n mike came from dead last to 3rd n then moto 2 returned n the favor and raced his race. Also hill stalled his bike, he didn't crash which means mike couldn't of been more then 8 seconds down from his first turn take out. I mean crash. Wink
