Alessi hasn't ever lost.......on occasion he got beat. So did them all. No one is undefeated.
And look who beat him? No something to be ashame of...... This thread and this article is a fucking joke.
The Alessi's are tough to deal with? So are the fucking factories.....big fucking whoop.

Alessi beats the shit outta everyone in pros that he did in the Am's.......just guy's like Bubba, RC, Villopoto and Tedesco scored a few more points "in the pro's" and they are more seasoned and just as succesful in the AMs. (By the way the Ams are a joke)
Are you fucking stupid? Look at the lap times,the moto results, the battles..... nothing wrong with Mikes program from top down.
This is like saying Chad Reed sucks because he only wins when Bubba and Ricky get hurt.......over and over and over again.
Mike podiumed in his second race the premier class at the age of 16 when all of the top riders were racing and at their peak. What changed you ask, Mike raced his own bike built by his own team of people. Mike new everything about his program and his bike and was 100 % confident in what he had going into the the race at Steel City. Those of you that have worked with teams and pro riders know that it takes some time to build a working relationship between everyone it cant happen in a few months and some times it never happens its just the way of life. I am not saying that Tony and Mike know everything no one knows everything, that is why there are experts in each department. But they sure are doing a dam good job and doing the best they can with the best they have.
To win in todays competition everything in a riders program must click and be routine, all it takes is on small glitch to have an effect on everything. There is one small pice of the puzzle that is missing for Mike, the answer is not getting rid of Tony or anyone. When they find that missing puzzle pice watch out because this kid will destroy the competition because his training and riding program is an elite program. That few of the top AMA SX and MX pros can finish on a regular basis.
They got Reedy on the cheapy because Larry stole his team and REED HAD NO WHERE TO GO ! Imagine that.
So now Mikey is out w/Suzuki. Big fucking whoop. Yamaha and Honda tossed the King to the curb.
Just business, not results.
Mikey is racing fine. Mathes got nothing to talk about other than J Law and now Mikey. A manufacturer of bullshit.
It just seems odd to me that a team would get rid of a potential champion, and you not hear of other teams actively seeking him
Where are your suzuki sales numbers after RC signed?
Your Reed statement is false according to Chad Reed himself who told Matthes in the latest podcast that he took no actual pay cut and doesn't know why people think he did.
When was L&M ever Chads team? "L" stands for Larry just so you know.
Your entire post is pure speculation or made up on your part. That's what "know-it-all's" are known for though.
............Im sorry we rubbed some of you the wrong way but it is what it is. We work hard and believe in our program and will show how good the program really is once we get on a team that lets us do thins the way that we know how. .....
....If it is team Alessi or on Team Yamaha, you will continue to see Alessi dominance for years to come. We aint going anywhere. Thanks for the kind words from some of you.
Look at his join date: August 9, 2009
Could that really be Tony Alessi !
Tony why not use your real name ?
ha! way to back pedal , hurry try to look like a good guy , fact is matthes your a shit talker , you get paid to shit talk , "THE PEOPLE " know it ,maybe you need to change up your writing , oh but that dont sell does it ? need the dirty , the blood guts and tears ,the car accident !
kick them while thier down right ? mike alessi is bummed on how his season went i am sure all will agree , then comes matthes to drop the big boom ,during contract negotion time ! typical !! and thiers others like this just look at co , birds of a like feather flock togther .
got to laugh at this too
on another note , hey matthes how come you never write your columns pinpointed at any of the members of small elite group of very powerful people that for now we will call " the syndicate" ??

I've been a big Alessi fan since that sunny Saturday at Southwick a couple years ago when my family shared some bleacher time with his. And last year he was the only one able to keep James honest, until that horrendous crash ended his season. Tough & gutsy, what's not to like about that? But I also didn't read any hate in that story, or the Lawrence one of a couple months ago - more like some concern that things turn out in the future like they maybe should. Tough & gutsy writing perhaps? I think the ones reading hate are bringing their own hate into it.
Nice seeing the new faces around here too.
IF AAA is Tony, then maybe you should read it as a commentator's piece on a sport he writes about... Steve ain't bashing Mike, in fact he credits him quite a bit throughout the piece, he is just concerned and offering an opinion like he can, and is allowed to, on how Mike maybe needs to change some stuff up to further his career...
And even without the "inside" info, it is probably pretty clear to see that regardless of results, the Alessi camp can sometimes rub people the wrong way... Still not a bash, just a comment...
The thread is a great comedy piece, thanks to those trying to defend Alessi. But I don't see what they are trying to defend. I suppose we'll see who's got the insight after the MX season is over and see who falls on which team.
Will it be Team Alessi? If so, I wonder what bikes they'll choose to run.
If that had said, "the Octopus" then I'd be sure who was actually writing this.
