Yes he will.
That is if Alessi makes the main.

Roczen goes forward, Alessi goes backwards. Mathmatically Roczen can get a dead last start and still beat Alessi

Roczen will absolutely beat Alessi, BUT will not beat Short. I think 194 will be top ten.

If he doesnt crash he will be top 10.

Alessi hasnt gotten a top 10 all season.

I disagree. The prospect of being beaten by KR might just motivate 800. I still see KR beating him though.

The dude was fourth last week and dropped to what? 12th, what motivation do you need? I don't think he cares either. Just hope Roczen don't brake his body in half.

I watched Roczen catch and pass Short at a race once...and he was on a 250.

I just wonder how many vets will be gunning for him in the qualifiers.
You know they are not going to give him much room,nor be kind to him on the track.

I just hope he keeps it on two wheels and makes the main,and then completes 20 laps.

I think that could be a problem for him.. I don't think the speed will be though. He is a better rider than Short so it wouldn't surprise me if his raw speed was faster, but Short should really beat him given his experience. Top ten would be really good for Ken, as good as a win imo. His talent is as good as the big five though. It wouldn't surprise me if he ran with some of the big five for a while if he got a start...

You have to wonder if KTM is doing this to light a fire under Alessi's butt. Getting whupped by a 16 year old rookie is not going to look good at all.

Mikey's own words make it sound like Rocker is THE GUY at KTM.

Doubtful if KTM's caring too much about Alessi.

Mike will probably be out with KTM after this year. Of course, an outstanding MX season may change that.. but I don't see him doing well outside either.

If he is having a hard time getting top 5 in the lites class (without crashing) do you really believe he can get a top 5 in the 450's?

Roc could beat Alessi on a 250F. I could see a top-10 if he keeps the thing on two wheels.

Hes getting better each race. He got on the box this week. Top 5 is far fetched but top 10 isnt.

haha....thats a Euro-biased poll. How many said he would win by 20 seconds? Smile

I say he gets 8th place, and makes even more new fans! Go Roczen!
