Whether Alessi rides or not it shouldn't detract from the racing I don't think.... though the Franch love the Americans.. so it would be in his interest for his fans to race.
you do realise there are 4 world champions in that list, and 3 guys who have finished runner up in the GPs and all of them have won GPs in their career, except two.. Aranda and Boog,,, but they are both French young and talented so should be fast on their home tracks. I even forgot Boissiere who has also won GPs and When you add in Albertson and Alessi it is a stacked field!
Plus since it's a pre -season race and some guys will be racing at 100% other 90% and other 80% it allows even more unpredictabilty.
Alessi could win or get 8th neither would surprise becasue everyone is pretty close in speed at that level esp since the German, French and italians are all good on hard pack tracks.
It will be interesting to see how Cairoli does on the 350f it sounds like if he performs well here (hardpack) he will use it for the GPs...

this races are used to check bike and fisical conditions and its the pace that you can run that matters not really the result......some riders even hold back to not show their game right away.......on the other hand it is a great chance for smaller riders and teams to get on the spotlight and give sponsor return before the big dogs start their fight..........
i think that in this races all you can see is if theres anything wrong with your setup, how good you really are against the competition only the first gp can show..........
I think the kid is going to really suprise some this year, saw him race twice in the Euro MX Championship last year and was simply blown away by his speed!!!

- Yes

Saw him at Hawkstone Park (top three of the greatest tracks in the world) and he simply blew me and everyone else who was watching him that day away. Herlings was on it that day, and Charlier just simply reeled him in (roughly 10-12 secs) and left him (beat him by approx 15 secs I think??). He was 3 secs a lap quicker than Brad Anderson that day, and Brad doesn;t hang about at Hawkstone either.
Valentin Teilliet won the MX2 race last year...and haven't even mentioned him this year
