If I'd heard anything about it that had some substance, I'd try and confirm it.

All I've heard so far is, "Someone's hurt," which is typically a prank that gets run every year before SX starts. There's nothing to work on, other than, "I heard it from a well-connected industry guy," and, "What, you don't believe me?" Rather than run around in circles, I've got plenty of other things I can be working on than chasing my tail.

Even if I knew who it was, is it supposed to go like this...

"Hey, I heard you were hurt."

"Nah, I'm okay."

"Liar!"


This is a sport that even on your best day ever, and you don't do anything wrong, you can still get slapped around on the bike. If it's a pre-season injury that doesn't cause the (to this point) fictional rider to miss any action, I'd guess it'll show up on the track and in the results at an actual race. If he is actually hurt badly enough that it causes him to miss some action, we'll know soon enough.

Bobby, here are my two responses to your emails.


I don't hear a thing, except the same type prank that gets run every year before A1.

I haven't heard anything that would make me think otherwise yet.



I guess I missed the part where I called you a liar.

Yes there is another rider hurt. The team wants to see how bad it is before they let out a pressy, if they do in fact let it out and asked for silence, again.

If they dont let it out I will say what happened after the year gets going.

..... Generally a pretty reputable source

Honestly...and I'm speculating as well. But I think something happened to Metty. There were a couple clues earlier today that led me to believe that. I could be wrong , and I hope I am , because i want to see Brett do good this year on that new ride.

whats the deal with m alessi finding out today if he will be racing?
1/3/2011 6:59pm
We're hearing today could be a big day to determine Mike Alessi's SX plans this year. Is he racing or not? about 4 hours ago via TweetDeck

i thought it was already pretty clear he was racing.

Who was the original poster for that one? (I spend less time with Twitter than Facebook.)

Here's a more recent one from Mike...

"Testing the race bike tomorrow. Should be a great day. Glad my tracks didn't get hit too hard with snow."

Well DMG usually is over hanging with the Suzuki guys from what I have gathered from him over on supercross.com. IF there is any truth to this I would say it is RD or BM. Still yet it looks like the rider will be at A1. Might not want any competition knowing there is an injury.

Ping just said on the podcast he heard rumors that Dungey was injured. Nobody including RV seemed to know if true or not.

See this is the part I don't get about the secrecy of injuries in MX/SX.

It's not football where certain legitimate tactics can be employed to exploit an injured player, or that opposition team rosters might be altered to better suit the strengths/weaknesses of likely substitutes.

In SX or MX, what are your competition going to do if they do find out you are injured? Train harder? At best there might be some minor psychological advantage, but really if riders are worried about what others might be thinking rather than what they can control themselves then they're a bit lost.

Or have I totally misread what could happen, and are fellow competitors likely to knowingly or deliberately engage in bar banging or downright dirty tactics if they know another rider is try to nurse an injury?

BTW I'm not advocating pure rumour-mongering if there is no substance.

I've been out of the loop lately. Hope there are no more injuries other than the 2 we know of. And who all is riding 350's? Is it true MA is testing the 450 and may ride it instead of the 350?

i am mostly a lurker here, but I always liked TFS. Wasn't he some kind of rocket scientist? This BobbyM fellow, he seems to stir the pot a lot from what i have seen. Isn't he part of team Alessi? Is he the guy who gets banned occasionally?

Where was the "good stuff" in what you posted? There was nothing of substance in there.

From what I've heard Tye Simmonds (Aussie) from the JDR team and Andrew Short are for sure on the 350's. Up until your post I thought Alessi was on the 350 as well. I'd be happy for Mikey if they let him ride a 450 though .. I think the kid , when down on power, is also down on confidence. I think a 450 in some cases is too much but for Mikey it's just what the Dr ordered. When I think of Mikey I think of that little 16 yr old , all 115lbs of him, getting on the podium in his 2nd ever race as a pro on the 450. He's always looked better on the 450 IMO.
