Alessi in Great Britain.

I'm definitely a fan of his riding, and being better outdoors than indoors, I really hope he can have a great result. Top 7.

Good luck to him, hope he does well on GB soil this weekend. Smile

If Mike made the podium...Tony would see to it that he never came back to America.

i think top 10 is a possibility- obviously hes a good starter but don't think that will be enough to put him near the top 5. Nagl/ desalle/ paulin/ cairoli/ febvre etc are hauling this year

if he holeshots and manages to stay in the top 10 then it will be a GREAT ride.

I think I'm more amped for Mike racing over there than I was for RV.

Go 800!

That would be a stretch for sure. Mikes last podium in US MX was in 2012. During 2013 his best finish was 5th place and 2014 was the Canadian vacation.

Why is he wearing the shoulder brace over the jersey? To show people he's injured? Hope he's fit and does well.

its a shame that RV is missing this round through injury, I think of all the gp tracks matterly is probably the most yank friendly one of them all. Had RV been racing, I would have expected him to win the matterly gp- who knows how alessi will do?! he has been a podium contender/ race winner in the states before.

I think back end of the top 10 for alessi this weekend. I cant see him beating nagl, desalle, cairoli, paulin, febvre, van hoerbeek, bobbryshev etc

there are a few riders out with injury so that will put him a couple of spots higher up. I think he will be in the same sort of area as butron. Hard to predict with alessi not racing gps/ama last year!!! hopefully he will do well, and consider a move to gps full time for 2016. Be another good addition to the series

I have been watching the replays of the Canadian nats on tv lately, I sure hope his team has their shit together a whole lot better than last year. On the broadcast 2 weeks ago he ran out of gas in a moto, then in the second moto he had to make a pit stop. Then on this weeks broadcast he had a grip freak'n come off. Wow, just wow in this day and age.

What are the rules that allows MA800 to race the GPs? I thought (though never researched) it had to be a GP team racing for the season. Which is why it was mentioned on another thread, that is the reason you don't see a bunch of locals on the starting line up. So my question, how is he allowed to race?

Since everyone else is prediction; I hope he does well, but I don't see a top 10.

The thing is, if he actually gets a good start matterly is quite a fast track with close laptimes, anything is possible. I would love to see Mike make an upset, it would encourage other riders to give the GPS a go!
