He got let go from Motoconcepts after supercross.

rumor has it he actually subbed for Mikey the last two weeks because of an injury and is hoping to get his own ride after Mike returns.

The kid reminds me a lot of Reynard.

Great talent but all those damn injuries....

Jeff is just as good as Mike, but doesn't have the work ethic mike has.

it would be incredible if Jeff got as serious about it as Mike is. Then they'd both be fighting for podiums

I truly feel Jeff would have surpassed Mike if not for his Dad.

That's just my opinion in what I saw of them at races.

I truly felt Jeff didn't want to race and I never once saw in a real race where he had anything for Mike.

I agree with the point of him not really wanting to race.

I did however see him practicing and having "something" for Mike.


Also personally heard Jeff upset at the CTI kneebrace rig at Mammoth saying, "If his dad would let him beat Mike he would but his dad didin't want him to and would get pissed if he did."


Also personally saw Jeff beat Mike at a race once and Mike ghost rode his bike into Jeff's in the pits.

Now you can take it for what you want, but I truly feel that dad ruined Jeff's carer before it started.


Like I said it's only my opinion based off things I saw at races growing up. Doesn't mean it's right.

From what Jeff told me he is taking the summer off to be 100% for the 2011 SX series. I dont know about switching to race R/C cars for a living. Everyone needs some fun sometimes.

I too have seen similar things to what sherwood is saying. Going all the way back to 60s and 80s. Jeff was always to run blocker not winner.

Jeff needs to be put in a system like JGR's where he can get away from the usual day to day B.S. of the SoCal scene and FOCUS.

As to the point of Jeff not really "Wanting" to race?

I can't go along with that.

He really was tryin' pretty f'n hard to get past his latest injuries...the damn kid still seems to get off the bike in pain.

i hope jeff gets his head right and believes in himSELF...i think he can too. good kid and kinda balled by his old man, and we can see where that is getting the other part of team alessi within team alessi. and to have yer own brother say yer a has-been already is more of the dad pulling the puppets strings imho.

to call out roger decoster in the racer x article and say he doesn't know shit is comical rogerd is not a perfect manager but he won both major world titles this year and last. to dis on him is absolutely rediculmous

his heal injuries are a real problem when it comes to pain. for his family to bag on him is a farce is also a real problem

jeff was treated like a stable pony for mike. period. fact. anyone says different is talking out of their ass.

there is literally more than one story about what happened to Jeff, from Tony AND Mike, if jeff dared to beat mike in anything other than practice. Jeff is also the reason that you hear Tony and Mike spew the bs that Mike isnt very good at SX. Why? because Jeff did, could, and would wax mikes ass on a SX track. And Mikes not very good? hmm, podium the 450 class, alot of top 5s and 10s... hmmm yeah he sucks.

BING...GO


and i expect to be kicked off of vital for life after this post. guyb has already told me...in so many terms.

BUT i think mike is only as poor in sx as his dad has him bullshitted to be, so has his other advisor. 2 against one when yer one against the world is a tough stance to take. i expect mike to fold.

and i also believe mike could win a sx title or come very close....bobbym

My dad has known Tony Alessi all his life, and watched Mike & Jeff grow up racing together. Mike has more heart/determination, while Jeff has way more talent then Mike.

I actually spoke to Tony Alessi about this at Freestone and he told me that they are working on putting together a program for Jeff and hope to have him at the races really soon.

That was pretty vague, but it's something.

It's been a while since I caught up with Tony, as they are pretty busy during Nationals.

While Jeff is spending a lot of his spare time with RC cars, they are putting something together for Jeff to get back on the track soon. With their racing shop in CA, they can prepare a pretty good race/practice bike for Jeff so he can get in some hours on a quality bike without being on a team right now.

For those of you that know Mike and Jeff, you know they have very different personalities. Jeff is kind of going back-n-forth from wanting to be out on his own more and wanting to train at home. While Tony feels Jeff''s best rasults are when he trains in their program, he also lets Jeff have some breathing room to step out on his own since thats what he wants to do right now. Trust me, thats not easy for Tony to do, as a father and as someone that is crazy passionate about the sport.
