I'll be the first to admit I really don't like the Alessi circus. But I'll give credit where credit is due for his solid ride last night. I had him pegged for barely qualifying...

What a weird thing to have happen to the rear brake...had to play with his mind a bit.

Maybe it's because of his portrayal by the media (not helped by his father or riding style) but I just plain don't like the guy. In saying that, props to him yeah. The Alessi-Dislike in me wants to point out that was the perfect track for him; shorter start then hard to pass around the whole track and not very technical. But again, props to him, he did better then I did, or ever could do, on my couch.

Looks like something wasn't tightened on that rear brake and it loosened up resulting in it blowing apart, I thought he was really fortunate that it didn't lock up or something on the face of a jump, that would have been ugly.

Maybe it was a really powerful laser by Villopoto that did it? Burned through one of the bolts... We know he was there haha

Lol naa I think everyone has learned their lesson with the lasers. I'm just glad it didn't result in injuries, like him or not I hate seeing guys get injured.

I'm sure you're doing the best you can but insecure unintelligent folks like you are far worse to this society, then a family of really good dirt bike riders.. But you're a good reflection of the kind of people that were too scared to be great at anything and or to lazy to work hard enough to achieve something great for yourself. So remember friend, when you point out others flaws and honest short comings in life, it say's far more about you then anything else....

Imo he is the most under rated guy out there I feel. Dude has shown he has the speed to run top five but for some reason it does not always show or he fades back. I always feel he could do better than what he does like some guys just can't really do it but I feel he could

I really don't understand Alessi...the guy is clearly fast enough to run up front and constantly proves that with very fast lap times and his ability to stay up front for a handful of laps..then in typical fashion he fades.

I don't think conditioning is an issue...it's almost like his under-dog/everyone hates Alessi attitude gets in his head and he gives up easily...strange... but seems as clear as ever he needs someone strong around him to build back his confidence.

Time for him to ditch the "poor me" and " the whole world is against me attitude" ...or maybe his a-hole dad (as been said 1000x). Time is ticking away on his career..

I thought Mike looked great but he did what he usually does and thats fade back after lap 5.

But he had brake problems? Where did you guys read that? I missed it.

I hope Mike can get some top fives this year and get Smarttop some positive press.

Looked like the rear brake rotor broke off the hub..they showed it on a rewind.

I used to root for Mike, until he T boned Tickle. I lost some respect for him then. I'm still amazed at how he can get the holeshots. I just dunno how he does that over and over and over.

His brake problem was in one of the Heats. You musta been gettin a beer when they showed it on TV. His caliper was hanging off the back of his bike and when he rode off the track it was banging into his spokes. I dunno if it broke due to collision or something or if the mount bolts weren't tightened.

Great ride by mike. I cant believe his holeshot ability either, its awesome. He held off Reed straight up for a long time. While the boys in the booth are doggin Dungey for not making the pass on Short. That's another thread. Good on mike for pushing hard.

Last night was one of the best times I've seen him ride supercross. Last year at I believe Indy he was also going really good. I'm exited to see if he can believe in himself enough now to know that if he wants to put it out there on the track he's fully capable of top 5s on a really good night and top 10s on a consistent basis. Watching the whoops it looked like everyone was hitting them about the same way choosing there lines based on the square edges and it got a few people but mike almost seemed like that was where he was confident and really got through them fast. That's a big deal in him, his ohlins stuff looked pretty dam good last night.

I kept looking at that ugly leader board thing and laughing, thinking how pissed Reed must be that Alessi is beating him! Good for Mike, although I think the track layout suited him as it didn't seem that technical.

What if your an insecure, unintelligent dirt bike father like Tony?
I've had the pleasure of meeting Tony as my family and I were standing in line at a resturant at an amature national. The man bumped in to me as he cut in line. When I informed him the line started in the back he replied with, "You don't know who we are." Later that night he took a friends wet gear out of the dryer and piled them on the table. When we asked him why he did that he informed us he needed them more... I waited for the little man to leave, threw his cloths out the door and helped my friend finish drying his sons gear and left. We later heard he was screaming at the front office demanding to know who did it.

Guys a prick and everything they get is deserved.

ya know i gotta believe, except for the oputdoor year on Suzukis, Mike's amatuer career really foked him up..................he never learned the follow through....get a holeshot.....sprint like 5 minutes hard and cruise.......worked great in ams....even at big events.........his results versus villopotos in minis.................but ever since pro doesnt work...........the constant look back..........I like him....cant stand his father..............but I think in the whole grand scheme he never had a coach/team/trainer that worked on taking his strength.....holeshots..........and figuring out the next piece of the puzzle.........MO.............

Okay... So with that said, then you and others like you should be even more understanding of Jeff and Mikes short comings in life, instead of trying to bring others down to make yourself fell better.

And with that said.. If Tony or anyone else for that matter threw my stuff out of a dryer before it was done in that fashion, I would remove his stuff, finish mine and let him know that respect earns respect....!

By the way, the Alessi's are some of the more approachable families in the pit. Mike Alessi is a hell of an athlete and good for the sport.

The passive aggressive attitude towards riders (Alessi, Villopoto, Stew to name a few) in the downer of vitalmx.com

Rehaustykus.... you want to see a joke. Read these rider's instagrams. You do not think they read them..... have feelings. Some compassion.

Imagine a mob blasting you, your brother or family relentlessly.

I feel bad for Mike and Jeff.
With that said as long as Mike and Jeff keep dad around they're part of the problem and enabling these problems to happen.

If you do me wrong twice, you no longer get the benefit of the doubt.
Especially when you've just told me you needed the machines more than my friend did for his kids.
