I hope villo punts his ass to the third row, the guy has zero chance at winning a SX why mess with villo who is trying atleast to win and is faster than alessi in sx.
from racerX:
Mike was asked if he brake-checked Villopoto on purpose, and he responded, "Dude, I’m doing what I had to do to make sure guys don’t pass me, so yeah, pretty much. I mean, I’m not just going to let some guy ride around the outside of me without putting up a fight, so I did whatever it took to make sure the guy behind me wasn’t going to pass me. But at the end of the day it was a racing incident.
"I’m not going to be pushed around,” he added, “and I hope it happens again this weekend and I look forward to it. I hope he comes trying to take me out because I’m ready. I’m not scared of him at all."
When pressed later in the interview if he had heard the holeshot comments Villopoto made at Anaheim, Mike responded, "Yeah, I heard it and that’s why he got some payback this weekend."
After only two races, this SX season is certainly not lacking any plotlines on and off the track. Anaheim 2 should be a great race, and not just for the podium.
Thanks for the update, Izer.

I don't care either way, I just hope both make to the outdoors safe and sound...they'll be more evenly matched out there.

As for the Alessi thing? It didn't look dirty to me. Mike was in front. He got the better start.He earned it. I'm sure RV is more pissed at himself for going high in that turn than he is at Mike. That being said,IMHO Mike should have just shut up and let it go.Mouthing off like he is when he is considerably slower (indoors) just makes him look worse. Sure,ride a wide bike,fight for your position,but STFU and take whatever place you get. Mikey is a racer at heart.He should just race. Not talk. Just my opinion of course. I want to see him do well, but the mouth turns people off. Villo was smart to blast past him the next time and humiliate Mike with his speed. I hope RV keeps his trap shut and doesn't retaliate.Just give a good humble interview when he podiums tomorrow night.
all this shittalk is gonna screw him in his precious outdoors. If i was Poto I'd wait till then for payback. It'll be priceless.
Pit Row
RV called Alessi out by making that crack after the heat race at A-1, he didn't have to say anything about Mike nobody asked him about that. RV talked a little smack all on his own.
Alessi answered back by parking him as he tries to ride around the outside.
That's racing.
I think both guys will get a little reminder from their team managers about what is important before tonights race and we won't see those games again for a while.
